    You know, like video hardware acceleration...my TV tuner card is displaying crap images but a normal Print Screen doesn't show the actual video content, and when I grab a frame with the ATI software it looks right.

    I don't know for sure - but you have noise in the signal.

    Your PC input has to come in via a shielded cable or you have problems.

    Filburt - I know exactly what you're talking about; I had this trouble and never found a way around it, other than connecting the video out to the video in, but I don't have a TV-out card. So I could never do it. If you have a Tv-out, you can try this, although then you will have the same problem I guess.

    (Just a heads-up)

    windows also has a problem with this and Transparent windows, using pcAnywhere and trillian and winamp (which i have as transparent) is not fun

    filburt, you will have to search for a specally made screen capture ultility, im sure there is one avalible, but cant remember the name of it, i remember it was shareware on a cover CD i had.

    Nope, because like I said when I caputure it using the TV tuner software it looks fine.

    1. Capturing stills with the TV tuner software is fine
    2. The live video stream looks all screwed up so I want to e-mail ATI about it but I can't show them an example.

    Ahhh...so you want the screenshot to be messed up!
    I have had a few probs with the software aswell.

    1. Teletext doesn't work :-(
    2. It always starts up 'zoomed in'. The only way to make it normal is to start recording adn then stop.

    I suggest using some different software.

    Anyway...digital camera? Won't be too good but it might work.
    What is the answer to this question?

    See if there's an option for Direct3D support/hardware acceleration.

    If there is, disable it! I had the same problem. But that fixed it
