A couple of ways to do this- depends on space and quality required. If
you have space and want quality, capture the data raw from the tuner and
then use mencoder to convert to mpeg/divx/whatever(30-40Gb+ 3hr tape).
If space is at a premium, or quality is not as important, then use
ffmpeg and convert on the fly. Need a fairly new cpu, plenty of RAM.

This all very general, but good luck...
