Capturing DV: something strange

[vcdmaker]

Hi

I've noticed somthing very strange while capturing DV.

I have a Sony DCR-TRV80E.
If I want to capture de DV from the DV-tape with the Ilink/firewire-cable, I use Adobe Premiere.(because i also want to edit and cut, etc..)

But when i have captured that, and i want to watch it, I see that the image is not good at all: it's unsharp, somtimes blurry, some artifacts and when there have been made fast movements with the camera while recording, i even see horizontal stripes or somthing like that.

Now, here comes the 'strange' part.

I also have another capture card; a Leadtek WinFast capture card. With this card I can capture stereo sound , video (yellow cinch cable) and super-video. When I capture video from my sony with a s-video cable with WinFast PVR (the program of that card) and i use an mpeg-2 compression (so dvd-quality) while capturing, the image is much much better. HOWCOME?

I don't understand.

Is there a better way to capture the DV from a DV-camera?

The Sony DCR-TRV80E has a CCD of more than one million pixels, so the image should be perfect. How can i keep this resolution as much as i can when i want to capture that video?

Thanks for your help,

Nothing is wrong. The DV video you're capturing is interlaced. You'll need to do some reading to understand it more. Do a forum / web search, etc. for more info.

The quality of the picture on Premiere and a TV are not necessarily related.

Do your editing in premiere, conversion and authoring and check out the DVD on a TV. Assuming you do not compress the video too much, you should be pleased with the result.

I use Ulead Video Studio for capturing. it's the best software out there for capturing. and I've pretty much tried them all.
the quality is the same, no difference.

everytime when i try t capture using Adobe, my Canon elura won't work.....that soft is really picky, and I personally think that Adobe SUCKS, they think they are the best, and their soft is a fortune.

Premiere is great choice.
INTERLACE is what you need to read on.
