I currently use an Averkey3+. It's about 6'x7', and it comes with a remote! This allows me to output up to 1024x768 @ 16.7mil color in overscan mode, Zoom x2, screen freeze, reposition video on screen, 3 filter levels and brightness control. It is composite, s-video and rgb output compatable. The output res quality differs slightly for the mac (I use a Gateway 450gl Pc ~Maxed~). This kind of toy lets you play quake on a big screen tv as well as save your work to a VCR. ($150.00) It also doesn't require filter, buffer, or driver software. Now, The best possible solution is to get a FireWire I/O card for your machine which runs about $100.00 but that's only the begining! you gotta have a digital V-camera to get input and if your not running a high priced VCR on output your going to lose alot on this kind of equipment. but you could look into the Iomega buzz, multimedia I/O device,all around input, it requires you install a card, it takes (I think) 20meg for software and oodles of space for mpeg storage ($199.00)
