i can only talk about GEM. best quality is of course to use pix_write
to get single images and render them afterwards. unfortunately this migth 
slow down the framerate heavily (depending on your patch) and so it
becomes useless for life performances.

i ususally just plug in a dv cam into my svideo output, and audio
from the mixer as well. the result is not more then a docu as i
usually work with xga. but also the quality of svga is not that
good. if you only have a vga output then you need a scan converter.
there are some cheap ones and so is the result. many of them are even
"software aided" and then you might be stuck with a certain OS.
if you need to go for this solution i would try beforehand or ask
around for which one you decide.

cheers
