This is  a little issue I've had off and on for years when I've tried 
to use  various PC capture devices to record live CoCo  video...



While I've never tried PC capture of CoCo video, maybe this experience will  
help somewhat:
 
I have been using MWSnap to capture live video from _www.africam.com_ 
(http://www.africam.com)  (Nkorho pan), *but* it  doesn't
work on all OSs, only Windows 2000.  (go figure)  Also, if your  first 
capture results in a blank/black 
window, hit alt-ctrl-del but do not stop any process, just 'close'  and your 
next capture will work.
(go figure).   MWSnap on W2K does not work for the National  Geographic site, 
Botswana live video (go figure).
 
Using printscreen *seems* to work but it's a phantom in that what appears  to 
be a capture, only works
so long as the live video window is open.  (go  figure).    
 
Now that's enough 'figuring' for one morning.      ;-)            -ph
