Mini Dv Capture problem

Nov 7, 2011 9:19PM PST

So I'm trying to capture video from my old Dv camera using my computer. I have it connected to my computer via a dv to firewire cable, which is connected to a firewire pcie card. Thing is though, no matter what program (powerdirector, windows live photo gallery, winDV) i use to capture the video it turns up looking like this:

Please note it looks normal on the camera. What might be causing this? I'm guessing it is incorrectly detected as NTSC when it is in fact pal? How can I fix this problem
