Actually I've been told by someone who has a scan converter (I don't have one myself) that the quality is very good. It probably depends on the type. I can only speak for voodoo 3500tv (pretty low quality) and r128 (pretty good quality) from personal experience.
I can't tell Matrox quality, I have never seen one myself so I can't compare.
As for CPU-usage, due to DMA-accelerated XvShmPutImage, r128 currently
surpasses every other card in linux, watching NTSC DVDs with SVideo TVout eats
only about 15% CPU (i.e. 85% CPU free) on my Duron650. And I'm not even using
hardware-accelerated idct or motion-estimation.
