RGB Artifacts on Image

I'm hoping someone will be able to take some time and help me out. It's a bit of a weird set up, and using unsupported hardware, but I'm so close to getting to work correctly, I think it's just a simple thing that I am missing.

I have a Hauppage HVR-1800, a GE cheapo GE-435234 wireless camera with composite out, the latest Ubuntu, and the latest ZoneMinder.

Now, I get a picture, but it has RGB artifacts on it in the form of vertical lines. I have tried so many combinations of things with no results that I don't know which way is up.

I current have the monitor as BGR24, 256x224 resolution (the only one that seems to work), NTSC, and 29.97 max fps. Anyone have any ideas?
