D8 to Computer?

[Nikos]

Ok Right now I only have Windows Movie Maker, but I have my firewire connected to my computer from my D8 camera SONY.

How can I make a MOVIE without it coming out blurry? When I try DV quality it comes out HUGE in size -- what qualuty and format should I use to wear it comes out respectable so I can send it to others online and have it be decent quality (SOMEWHAT close to the original?)

Can someone help me here?

thanks

Yes, to send files online, it is best to use .wmv format. The file become too blurry when you try to enlarge to a size other than what they were encoded at.

so what BPS should I do it at, it seems blurry at 384kbps for NTSC BROADBAND.....and 784 is ok....why do they seem so blurry to me?

What is th ebest quality in this case?

[Tommyknocker]

The higher the bit rate, the sharper the image.

I Know this TOMMY but it looks REALLY BLURRY at 384kbps for BROADBAND -- why is that?

Also when I try to play it through WINAMP the colorization screws up badly.

What am I doing wrong and what is the best bitrate to use that does not compramise MUCH quality but is small enough to distribute on the Internet?
