I was having the same problem the other day with another OpenGL 
application. It seemed that the built in screen capture program (Grab) 
doesn't capture OpenGL accelerated graphics output correctly.

What helped in my case was to capture not only the active window, but to 
capture the whole screen using Grab.

Hope this helps,
