Updated: VF Capture VS. VW Capture.

I am trying to create a video of stills taken with my digital Camcorder (JVC GR-VL820U)
I captured the photo's with VF, arranged them and rendered them to see how they looked.
All of the photo's were pixilated.
I took the same files and captured them using my old copy of Video Wave and the rendering of the photo's looked fine.
What am I doing wrong with VF's capture program?
I switched to VF after all of the bad press on the VW forum and have been very happy with the software, but, how do I capture stills without having them look pixilated after I render?
Again, this doesn't happen when I do the same test using video wave.
Update:
Since I originally posted this I have discovered that if I capture my still with VW, then import them into VF, they look fine in all of my renderings.
Does anybody know why this could be?

I'm not too sure about settings for getting stills from Capture, but for getting stills from the timeline, right-click on the preview screen and check "...Project size", assuming your project size is standard DV AVI, before you capture stills. Believe it or not, I find that VW or even Pinnacle Studio7 give you better, clearer resolution stills than VF/VV, perhaps because the former two are 720x480, while VF/VV are 654x480, and pixelization is more noticable. Unless I'm missing something...
