What kind of capture performance can you get with the 8600 in terms of resolution and frames per second? Supposedly (I haven't tried it yet) one can get full screen 30 fps capture with the old NuBus Video Vision Studio and I'm wondering how the 8600 compares to that. I picked up a VVS system still shrink wrapped a couple of years ago for $50 and put it in an 8100/110 but have never actually used it (except as a glorified video card).
