I have TWO questions. One is a hardware and 2nd software??/

[spankey]

First I just bought for my Sony DV cam corder and sony editing kit. It included a pinicle capture card and studio dv. How can I tell what model card I have? When I hit device manager it shows it under network adapters and as a 1934 net addapter? I mean the card works fine and all, I am just curious what model I have for future updates. I guess I could ask pinicle also, figured I'd ask here first incase someone has it also and would know?

My second question is this...I know this a video forum, but when I take still shots with the camera the picture on the TV is awesome, but when I load it to the pc its pixely, if you can folow what I mean. Broken up a bit.My screen resolution is 800x600.DESKTOP that is...

Is there any type of picture enhancers I can try as far as software that I can clear up the picture a bit? I have a few picture programs but none that are the greatest. Are there others that anyone else uses that somewhat work wonders?

When I print the picture on print photo paper(and the printer is print quality) It seems real darkened out and drab. Not like a picture at all?

anyone have any advice....

Thanks soo much...

Camcorders do not take good still pictures (probrably only 640 x 480, or even 320 x 240), It looks better on your tv than your pc because pc resolution is much higher than tv and shows more detail. In your case you have a low res image so viewing it on a high res monitor shows up the pixelation.
