If you don't mind my asking, is the drive to which you are capturing an IDE drive or scsi drive? I've been thinking of using my beige G3 in a similar manner (I have an old analogue handycam and wouldn't mind grabbing the video off of it)
What if you did the capture in final cut pro and then saved the capture as a normal quicktime file, either over your network or just to the drive? Back when I was using FCP, you used to be able to open the captured files in quicktime player or whatever other quicktime app you had.
Failing all else of course, you could just do the cutting and compressing on the G3.
Also of note, from the wiki article on VHS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS
Normal VHS has just about 240-250 usable lines of picture resolution, S-VHS has about 420, so if you needed to save on disk space, recording at 320x240 would probably be fine.
