Tom,
You really do not want to use a G3 for DVD creation. The rendering times are so slow..........
Dig around in here and you will probably find what you are looking for:

I agree - if you are using Apple's video software then a G4 is the only choice as, AFAIK, Apple's video codecs are optimised for Altivec.
Just a cautionary note, as you are looking for maximum system bandwidth in a video production machine. Some of the faster CPU upgrades available down-clock the B&W main bus from 100MHz to 66MHz. I'd actually appreciate it immensely if someone could let me know which ones do and which ones don't so I know where to point people in the future.
