I've been tranferring VHS to the pc for converting to mpeg 2 for DVD using Ulead DVD movie factory. Footage of the same size (704x576 Pal) renders at least four times faster if the capture codec was Picvideo as opposed to the Matrox hardware mjpeg. Unfortunately I can only capture using my marel G400 with vidtools 1.52 and the YUY2 patch in win 98, I can't get the G200 marvel to work like this yet.
The picvideo codec is well worth trying for the speed difference
