I have only seen one post concerning this camera. I just recently purchased the sony dcr-trv140. I am trying to transfer the image from the sony camcorder to a vcd. The only program that I have is the one that came with the camcorder which is the pixela image mixer. The quality is real poor when I view it on the preview screen in pixela and tmpgenc. I also get pixels in both programs. Do I need a firewire for better quality or do I just need to get a different capture program or maybe a different codec? I already have divx 5.2.Any help is greatly appreciated.
