How are you capturing??? USB???If so that is why the picture quality is poor. Your MiniDV has a firewire port, get a firewire card for your PC. Useing firewire the quality will 4 times better. Nero is now at version 7. There are at lot of good programs out there, read some of the other posts. the link below has a lot of good info. John

hi all. i've been using nero express 3 to capture my video from my minidv tapes onto my hard drive and then going through the steps to make dvds but my question is this: although nero express 3 is simple enuf, is there a program that you like better and if so, what is it?
i like the fact that nero is so easy BUT the picture quality seems a little less than what i can get if i use premiere. also, nero gives me the dumb default chapter headings that look like this:
1. Chapter 1
that's so stupid and redundant. of course, i can change the "Chapter 1" part but i DON'T want the numbers before the chapter headings!
anyway, if you know of a program that is fairly easy to use and gives the user a lot of options, i'm all ears. thanks for any sugggestions you may have.
