12GB per hour = too much

can someone recommend an app for recording video on a mac from dv input, but in a format more compact than dv?

i used to use an app called "gcam", but apparently it stopped workin gcorrectly under tiger. it allowed me to record video in real time as mp4 as well as other formats.
thanks!

BTV probably does this. 15 day free trial, then $20 or $40. QuickTime is another possibility at $30. I haven't used either of these apps.

thanks ryanrs! btv is the same as gcam, and likewise doesn't work on my machine, but i didn't know quicktime player now has digitizing capabilities. it'll do nicely, although with a lot less flexibility than gcam/btv. thanks!
