How to best capture/convert motor racing video

[walpoo]

Hi, I am rather a newbie to Video capture, etc, but a friend has asked me to put a professionally made motor racing video (Bathurst 1000 from Mt Panorama) on to DVD for him. Capture seems OK, but when I try to convert, the result is very average - esp the high speed shots.
Have tried various editing settings, and I'm not happy with result. Am I expecting too much, or is there a secret???
(The best MPEG result I can get is only 70-80 % of the original video quality).
Any ideas????
Take care, Wayne (aka Walpoo)

capture to type 2 dv using DVIO then use CCE to convert to mpeg2, this is what i do as i also capture V8 supercar action and get high quality all the time.. P.S. go Lowndesy
