Trying to get a losses dv capture that I can convert

Trying to get a losses dv capture that I can convert with virtualdub and dvdtosvd. I have windows xp pro and a firewire link. I have tried the following so far:

Windows Movie Maker- DV NTSC can play can't convert even after getting canopus codec and file converter and using.

PIXELA - Bad program ame with camera as two formats mpg1 (poor quality) completely uncompressed dv works but a little hudge.

Powerdirector Pro OEM version - not bad but no lossless compression that I could find.

DVIO - can play can't convert even after getting canopus codec and file converter and using.

Thanks Mark

I haven't used Virtualdub for quite a while now, but I have a feeling that it can only cope with Video for Windows format files. DV transfer is Directshow format,

I think I've seen some mentions of a plugin for Virtualdub and no doubt someone will tell you what you need to know.

Panasonic DV codec will allow vdub to open DV avi files.

Use DVIO to capture to type 2 avi.

DV is ~13Gb per hour of video.

Thank You. The pansonic codec is just what I needed.
