Has anyone seen this? It just happened to me now. I've tried restarting my GameCube and capture module, but no success. When I record and view the video later, everything's fine

If it's fine when viewing it later, is there a problem?

Anyway, for some reason it displays it in CMY instead of RGB (cyan, magenta, yellow, the secondary colors in the RGB model).
If you look at each RGB component separately, you will notice that the B-component is really bright where there should be yellow, but not the others (my first clue that Y was somehow involved, never seen this effect before).

After some Google and Wikipedia, I got the following:
R = -C+M+Y
G = C-M+Y
B = C+M-Y
Tried it and got the normal picture back.
