may I suggest trying bsdav -> http://www.jakemsr.com/bsdav/

_very_ light on CPU usage; fully documented.  it does no encoding/
compression, so you will get the best possible picture.  you will need
a fair amount of disk space, though, unless you break the capture up
into parts.  I wouldn't imagine this being too much of a problem though,
since you are capturing from a VCR.
