Capturing as a dv-avi will give the best results, as this is the same
quality as the cam records in.
http://www.myvideoproblems.com/Tutorials/MovieMaker/HowToCaptureDV-AVI.htm
Movie maker will show a preview quality in it's monitor window, which is
never as good as the video actually is.
Once finished editing again save as a dv-avi file, more instructions on the
above site if you need them.
When you make the dvd you have to compress the dv-avi to an mpeg2 file using
the dvd authoring software. This compresses the video quite a bit 9about
1/3), and there are so many variables it then gets hard to find the one
which is causing trouble.
The bitrate set, max about 8,000kbps, std no less than 1,000 less than the
max. If using vbr. If you use cbr then this may lead to movement being
blocky.
The make of disc, dvd authoring app, player all make a
difference............
