problem with screen caps

I am hoping someone can help me with this. I have an ATI TV Wonder VE card.
I have had the card almost a year. When I first installed it, I had this
same problem, but I can't remember how I fixed it. When I try to do a screen
capture from a TV program, it pixelizes??? the picture. I don't know how to
describe what it does. If anything is 'moving' when I take the screen cap,
it leaves parts of the moving 'thing' as transparent... so that when I go to
save the picture, there are huge parts of the picture missing. Has anyone
else had this problem???

I've seen it happen. Typically movies are displayed by programs as overlays
(memory blocks in video card memory to which the program writes to directly
instead of going through windows). I guess windows doesn't see that
information and that's why when you capture the screen you lose some parts.
I don't know how to resolve this issue though.
