Whenever I burn to dvd or video cd, video is not sharp. I use imagemixer to capture video and nero 6 to burn dvd. My pc is AMD K7, 120gb, 256mb ram, and xp. Do I just buy another program to capture video? Thanks in advance.

Did you connect via firewire?

Stike one.

Next, connect with firewire and look up WinDV on google.com

Go to town.

I don't have a problem on capturing video to pc. My problem is the video isn't sharp when I burn to dvd or video cd. There isn't any problem on video quality when I watch on pc or connect camcorder to tv.

I have the dv800.

And I was not happy till I connected with firewire, used WinDV and then off to DVD with Ulead Moviefactory.

Sadly, I can only share my success so you might follow along.

I do not meet system requirement. I have 500mhz AMD K7, 120gb drive, 256mb ram, and xp. Beside Ulead, do you have any suggestion I should use? Thank you.

Try it anyway.

The demo is over at ulead.com and the athlon was better than most same MHz P3s of the day.

I switched to firewire from camcorder to PC to try to fix a similar problem but am using a folder on my external Maxtor 120g drive (connected by USB) as the temp file. Does anyone suggest that I need to upgrade that connection to see any improvement?

Thanks

I'd put the drive inside the machine and retest.
