Hardware recommendation to record VCR Movies to VCD

[incredible]

Hi,

I'm thinking about to purchase a video capture hardware for my Macintosh 9500/G3-500MHz. I want to burn VCDs from VCR Tapes, ... not burning DVDs!
I saw a USB hardware called "MyTv" from EscapeLabs but it seems to be bad quality cause of the bandwith of the USB bus.

A Person told me to buy for the same money a used DC30+ PCI card, which produces much better quality.

What are your experiences with this card?

As I told, I don't want to produce DVDs, I know there exist a product from formac "DV-Studio" to record via firewire, but for me it's too expensive and by the way, my machine wouldn't handle the needed CPU power to produce and burn movies in such a quality to DVD.

Do exist actual drivers for the DC30+ for OS9.1?? I haven't found them at pinnacle!
Is there a hardware difference between the version for PC or MAC?? Or does it depend only upon the driver for each System?

How much Time it will take to convert a MJPEG Movie (90 Min.) to VCD format??

Thank you very much for assistance!
Andrew

do you have a firewire port? then i'd get a canopus advc 100, canopus.com b&h photo have them for $280, i think the cheapest. this will allow you to capture through s-video or rca composite, through your firewire port. then edit out the commericals in fcp or imovie or premeire. then use the toast plug in or mpack to encode to vcd spec. this is what can take awhile, 90 min on my dp 800 takes approx 10-12 hours using the toast plug. mpack is almost twice as fast and i think the quality is the same, but the audio is all messed up on my dvd when i use it so i have to use toast.
