During capture
the capture window is only updated on a "best effort" basis, and does not
reflect your actual capture rate.  There are overlay boards that will
show you the live, analog image during capture, but it's probably better
just to use an external monitor.

I get this too.  You can adjust this by changing the color pararameters,
but I never bother capturing in the smaller formats, so I don't run
into this problem.  I suspect this option works for PAL and not NTSC,
this being a German board.

right - but you didn't waste your money: the things that really matter
will be much faster on your new system.
