Capturing Analogue Video to record on to CD

I have capturee analogue video via a digital video camera, which acts as a converter, on to CD.

The programme i used was windows media maker and i set the video quality to DV-AVI 25Mbs.

However, the quality of the captured video does not look good compared to the analogue video. I would say there was a loss in quality.

How can i keep the quality of the analogue video?
Do i need a different capture programme if so what?
Is it better to capture analogue video through a capture card or is the digital camera ok.

The other capture programmes i have used are Pinnacle video and Presto video works but they do not support the analogue capture function

How is the camera connected to your computer?
