Whatever program your using to capture video is useing video overlays. When you hit print screen, you wont get the image, but the background that the image is overlayed over. Not sure what you do to get around that. But the effective resolution of a analog NTSC signal is only around 720x480. It may sound like alot, but the signal from most NTSC devices is very poor and will result in very low grade images. Not only that, but at 480 lines you will also run into the problem of having to deinterlace the signal so you dont get the edge combing effect.

what are you using for your video capture, if it's one of the Wintv products it should have a freeze capture function in the software.
