Camcorder as capture device troubleshoot

Hi,

As you see in the subject I want to connect my VCR to the Camcorder and capturing through firewire to the PC.
The connections are okay, I can connect also my Nokia (wich has TV out function) with no problem.
But if I connect the VCR and want to capture some of my own footage there is a problem.

Mostly when there is a outside footage in the tape the screen goes every few seconds to blue.
I think this has to do with the brightness because the colors has sometimes very high saturation, (when there is a bright lamp for example). I've bought 2 VCR players that has this same problem (blue screen and saturation).
The funny thing is when I connect the VCR to the TV there not a such problem.

VCR1 Sony SLV-SE620
VCR2 Daewoo DV-K 885

Camcorder Sony TRV420E

I hope someone can resolve my question

What determines how clear a camcorder is? I already own a camcorder and i want a better one with higher quality video. So i just wanted to know what makes a camcorder have sharper/clearer video.
