The ivtv driver is actively being developed, and while it works there are
still more things to do with it.

Record in high quality (mine's currently set for 2.5-3GB/hour) and then
transcode to VCD or whatever format you like. The results will be *MUCH*
better than directly recording into such a low bitrate. (since while
transcoding, you can do some fancy de-interlacing or filtering to aid in
the compression process)
