Displaying captured video on PC

[yadda]

I have looked through some of the guides with no luck. Easy question for most of you:

I have a Canon Mini DV camcorder and I have transferred the video by firewire using movie maker to my PC and the image is kind of blocky with some audio dropouts. It is in of course in WMV format. Any recommendations how to move this to a computer and have smooth video and no dropouts. Also is there any way to resize the image,. It is pretty tiny on a monitor at 1024x768.

It plays fine plugged directly into a TV by composite cables.

Thanks

It is in of course in WMV format.

Why is it not in DV format ?. That's what's going down the cable .
Is there perhaps a setting in the program to save it as is ?

You might try DVIO or WinDV instead of WMM. Sounds like WMM is doing strange things. You can import Type 2 DV to Virtualdub (With a DV codec installed) for editing and encode with TMPGEnc.

OK what is the best way to convert this WMV and burn it to a CD so it can play on a standalone DVD player???
