I am looking at getting the same setup (Xapshot with DCTV), and I had a 
couple of questions about its quality.  How well does the Xapshot work
with a fast moving source, such as a charging Knight and horse in a
jousting match?  Also, the Xapshot only uses one field for its pictures,
so how good does the detail come out after digitizing?  For example, the
details in a person's face?  Finally, how well does it compare to using
a camcorder with a color splitter?
