At this moment, some cheap USB capture device. It looks like one of those Easycap things, except it's not an easycap.

I hate to sound like an asshole but that's probably the problem: it's one of those cheapo things. They really only design those to capture low-quality footage from camcorders for the purposes of web conferencing. The scanlines could just be a compression issue, or if they are only appearing around the border of the video they could also be the device not knowing how to interpret a lack of video feed.

I figured it might be the device. It looks really cheap.. I guess we have to go back to the first thing he bought. He has a dazzle device, but his computer won't recognize it as a "webcam" device so we couldn't try it out in any other software. Kind of sucks since that one was pretty expensive. Even worse is that we lost the package we got it in so now we don't know which model he bought.
