I have a Canopus ADVC100 and have used it with my CoCo, Atari 2600 and
Intellivision.

It wasn't usable with regard to gaming. The latency was about 0.5
seconds and drove me nuts. :)

As a side note, using my ADVC100 with my S-Video modded Atari 2600, the
capture looked damn close to an emulator window.
