You said that the card had S-video; use that if you can !
the component video signal should perform much better.

Have you used this card with any other operating systems and/or drivers ?
    you know .. that.. Win.. something..
    Same crappy image ?
Is there a quality difference between windowed and full screen ?
Can you loop throught the device ? Camera to the S-video and component 
to a monitor (or VCR input) ?
    same ?
NTSC is generally speaking NTSC so the device shouldn't be putting out a 
lower resolution.
    or it isn't NTSC
       Do you know what NTSC stands for ?
             No Two Same Colour ! It's a fairly crappy standard to start 
with.
                PAL kicks it ass !
