Have you tried to copy any macrovision-protected VHS tapes?  If so, does 
your capture card generate all these jacked up video files as if you 
were doing a VHS->VHS copy?

My friend has been asking me to test this out for months and I haven't 
gotten around to capuring video from a VCR with my PVR-250.
