Help! I thot my capture was bad until I recorded back to my DV camera and played that onto the TV. Looked great!!! But I can't seem to get the video into the correct format to be viewed on the computer screen or even from VCD (after recording it to a VCD). I've tried all the steps mentioned on this site and can't seem to get a non-grainy and clear screen view. What could it be?

I have an AMD Athlon 850Mhz and a firewire card. I can capture and make photos and print them. BUT I can't get the video from capture to saved AVI or other file without losing quality.

Any other ideas?
