I found that quality changed a lot depending on the resolution I was recording at...  Now I know that sounds completely obvious!  However, I did find that for example changing the horizontal resolution sometimes made HUGE differences to the quality of the whole picture - I'm guessing that at certain resolutions the card has to do certain types of processing which drops quality

Try working out what resulution NTSC is natively and try setting that as your record resolution.  I keep forgetting, but I think it is 576x720 to get max quality?
