It can be done, but I have not dabbled with it for some time. If your PPC has a fast-ish CPU, RAM, and upgraded SCSI or Firewire the results might be decent. I am searching now, I remember that somebody - I think a German hacker - made an improved streaming program for the 8600 which supposedly allowed 640x480 at 30fps. I found it difficult to use, and my SCSI is too slow anyway. If I find a link I will post it here.
Most of my video capture experience was an Aurora Fuse card in my MDD G4. The sync issues were crazy! Audio and video were find but they were out of sync with a non-linear curve and it took me hours with QTMutator and other sync utilities for the results to approach anything remotely decent. I have never heard of anybody else having major Fuse sync problems, might just be my setup.
As I type this I am encoding a tape with a Wired MediaPress card, and anxious to see how it turns out. In the past I have had iffy luck with this sort of thing.
