Whenever I try to convert DV to DVD (MPEG2) it looks a great deal worse than the original DV, even if I have the bitrate way up. Is it because DV is 640x480 and it has to shrink the resolution?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

dv avi should be 720x540 with ntsc. maybe windows movie maker isnt capturing it right. i personally never use that crappy windows program. if you want something for free, try DVIO. i use it a lot and it works great

Update:
Ok i just used Ulead Video Studio 5, which came with the firewire cable and it says it captures to 720x480, and when I look at the properties in the program it says that. When I play it back with WMP it says 640x480. Is WMP reporting it wrong? It must be because VirtualDub reports it at 720x480. -
WMP has a setting at which rate it should play DV.
I think by default depending on the Graphics hardware support, it picks optimzed support. Since my graphics card has no hardware support. so it is optimized for 50% only.
I would say check ur setting on the WMP. -
Just a little reminder:
The effecitve bitrate of DV (from your camcorder) is about 25 Mbps, whereas even the maximum DVD bitrate is around 8-9 Mbps. So don't expect a miracle.
