Retaining video quality for screen capture export

I've spent hours searching all over the interwebs and trying every combination possible, but I cannot for the life of me get Premiere to maintain the quality of my video from a screen capture. This is for a software demo video I am making. Here are the settings for the video capture:

 

Recorded with ocam screen recorder (http://ohsoft.net/product_ocam.php). This produced decent quality, not perfect, but definitely readable.

Microsoft MPEG 4 part 3 (.AVI) codec

1024x768

30fps

6000Kbps bitrate

 

When I view the files in Windows Media Player or Quicktime they look fine (again, not perfect, but definitely usable)

 

However, when I import them into Premiere Pro the preview adds artifacts, especially around black text on white background.

 

My sequence settings in Premiere match the original video:

1024x768

Square pixels aspect ratio

30fps

 

Exporting produces the same problem, artifacts all over.

 

Oddly, sometimes the artifacts disappear, such as when a window is moved with the cursor. Suddenly all the text in that window gets clear for a second.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
