If money is the issue you can probably do it with what you have plus OS X but encoding is going to take forever. I'd recommend that you trade up to a iBook/PowerBook G4 or a get an used G4 Desktop (at least to encode the video). You will need lots of drive space and will probably want lots of RAM and a fast hard drive (at least a 5400RPM laptop drive if not a 7500).
