My sempron 2400+ is apparently pretty close to your XP 2000+, and I get 
7fps.  No denoising BUT I do use the crop feature.

I transcode vcd-res captures to KVCD on my XP 2200+ Windows box at 
somewhere around 60 fps using TMPGEnc, *including* running telecine on 
it first! (converting to 23.5 fps video).

I tried converting & transcoding in Windows too... I installed the 
dsmyth filters, and I could *see* it, but  when I converted to mpeg or 
avi the sound was out of sync.  It seems to export perfectly from 
nuvexport though.  I'd do the XP way, but it doesn't seem to be an 
option.  YMMV.

Basically we have to figure out what Lonnie's got that we don't.
