a. You can exceed VHS quality capturing off regular Broadcast TV with a properly configured system.
b. 320 X 240 (single field) is roughly equal to VHS quality.
c. Depending on compression used and source quality you can get close to 10MB/min if you compress the audio as well.

Ask away if you need more help.
