To get anything near decent I have to set it at the highest resolution and bitrate which results in ludicrously high file sizes. Anything less then its just not worth it.
Is there any other capture software I can try?

I've used Showshifter before, but it was such a long time ago I can't remember what it was like.
Whatever software you use, I think you are going to have the same dilemma of trade off between file size & quality.
To get 'DVD' quality captures with my (ATI) card results in an 8Mb/s datastream for mpeg2 - big files indeed.
