PLZ DO NOT BE DISCOURIAGED BY THE LENGTH OF MY QUESTIONS!!
PLZ READ ON!! )

Heres my situation, i want to make DVDs out of my old VHS archive.
My PC has the following config.: Athlon 1ghz, 512RAM, 80+30GB HD,
WinXP sp1, Hercules 8500 128 LE, Firewire, RICOOH cdrw
and HITACHI DVDROM.
Theres also a lap top available at 2.4ghz P4, 40GB HD, Firewire,
USB2, DVD+CDRW, 256RAM.
Also i have a D8 SONY TRV 325E PAL camcorder.
And at work theres a Macintosh G4 with the SuperDrive (DVD-recorder).
So i think i have the solution of writing my videos on DVD there, but still
im not too sure that the MAC can write DVD videos that play on the pc DVDROMs successfully.
But one thing thats for sure is that i want to maintain maximum quality
from those old VHS tapes i have.
So here goes:

A. Is my computers configuration ok for not loosing any frames and in general not having any problems?

B. Can i use this Sony camcorder model (D8 SONY TRV 325E PAL) for the passthrough feature? Ive heard its output videos are mutch better than capturing from the VHSvideo using a capture card.

C. Someone mentioned that using the firewire port to transfer u get color washedout video, compared to the analogue capture from a capture card. Is that true?

D. I also dont know what application to use to capture the videos, i was told that ULEAD Media Studio Pro 7 is very good. But i have no tutorial for it. Does anyone have any tutorials or documentation that might help (the ones on this site are inadequate for my need to know?

E. While capturing, what are my options for the output video? Compressed uncompressed? Something else? And what are the advantages or disadvantages i think theres no editing ability for the compressed format.

F. How mutch space will i need for each 30min of continuous uncompressed video?

G. If theres anyone that can describe me in general terms the stages of how to make the capturing of VHS tapes and all the other stuff until i burn the final DVD (or SVCD or whatever for maintaining best quality) id really apreciate it.
