Copy Snapshot (still image capture) quality

If I click on the "Copy Snapshot" icon in the preview
window, I can copy a single frame of video to the
clipboard. If the preview window is docked, I get 180x120
quality. If I undock the window, I get 360x240 quality. If
I right-click on the preview window and select "Display at
Project Size" I then get 720x480 a pixel snapshot
(capture), but it is EXTREMELY jaggy. If I then change the
quality setting in the preview window from "Preview
Quality" to "Best Quality," it makes no difference.

If I magnify the 360x240 images (captured with the "Display
at Project Size" turned off) to be the same size in my
image editing program as the 720x480 image, they do not
exhibit the jaggies.

I also own Studio DV from Pinnacle, and it captures
beautiful still images, especially when you enable the anti-
jitter function.

Question: What combination of settings (including registry
hacks) will provide the best still image captures in
VideoFactory?

Thanks.
