Hi Graham, When i watch the movie just by playing it through to my laptop,,,i
can watch it in full screen and have no quality loss, but when i press record
the playback even on the small preview window looks like its braking up. When
i finish recording i play it back off the harddrive with either windows media
player 10 or with win dvd or with real player or with Theatre tek the
quality is still not right. I have tried to burn it to disc but it comes out
the same as the bad quality playback i get on the laptop after recording.
DMA settings for my harddrive is on------ DMA if available. I have no other
option.
Playing it direct to tv using either the cable suplied or s-video----great
qualitty.
Direct x 9 c installed.
My main concern is the fact that i can view it with great quality, but not
record it to harddrive with the same quality, If i could do that ,then the
dvd disc will be great as well.
How do i know whether i have the latest drivers for items like my
motherboard and firewire ports. Where would i check?
