DV steam to PC problem...Help

[Johnnylee_hang]

My computer is a WinXP. I capture all the movie steam from my digital camcorder and the graphic is ugly after TMPGEnc formated to mpg. Before, it was alrite and you can see clearly. Well, there are two program I use. One is movie maker and then TMPGEnc. Which one do you think may cause it? and how should I fix the grapic to make it looks clearly?

Waht is the size and file extension of the movie after capturing with MS MovieMaker. I ask because by default Moviemaker compresses the captured DV video to wmv. DV format video is approx 13Gbytes per hour. If MovieMaker is compressing the video, you ned to select the option to import uncompressed DV avi video.

I don't really know, but How do I set the size or to make it looks better?

What is it that you don't really know. Is it the size of the file after capturing, how long the movie is, the file extension windows has put on it, or is it something else?

The size of the size is 602mb avi that I captured, but the graphic is ugly. How do I capture it to a good quility? I used movie maker version2.0. In the digital camcorder, the graphic are pretty nice, but after capture to movie maker, it's ugly. You can't bearly see the person faces. I tried to change the quility of graphic in movie maker, but it wouldn't capture and sometimes if it capture, it not even moving(Graphic). It stays 3k. Before it was Digital Playback (recommended), but I change it to MPGE 16:9 high quility.

Before you start to capture in WMM2 you should see a dialog box with a drop down list containing quality settings. These are somthing like low, medium and high. There should also be 'other'. Select this and a 2nd drop down list should appear. In this new list select DV-AVI for PAL. Your capture should now be exactly the same as what is on your tape.
