I got my first mac this year and now im kind of bummed because of this video situation i'm in.
I'm trying to do the following:
I have a bunch of content on S-VHS tapes that im capturing through a DV converter through firewire into my mac using Final Cut Pro.
The only problem is Final Cut Pro only exports to Quicktime. So i have a 12 minute scene that ends up as a 600MB quicktime file.
I need MPEG-1 so i try to use Cleaner Pro 6.0 to encode it. Which will work fine but the only problem is the estimated time to completion is 7 hours!!!!
I am looking for a solution for mac where i can capture the video and export to MPEG-1 file right off the bat and not have to convert anything, cuz no way i'm waiting that long.

Do any of you guys use Macs for similar projects? What do you use?
On PC i know theres tons of stuff that does it, but the only thing i can find for mac is maybe this thing:
