I hope this is the right forum for this question, but I have burned a DVD photo montage video using just scanned images that I have on my hd. The pictures come through crystal clear. But I also used 2 types of movie clips. One was recorded from VHS to my mini DV camcorder, and then uploaded to the computer using my IEEE firewire. The other was uploaded the same way, but was video I captured on my camcorder (I am talking home movies here). When I play the DVD on my stand alone, the quality looks, well, worse than when I connect the camcorder to the tv. The image is somewhat pixelated (if that is a word). I am sure there is a way to have there be little to no loss of video quality, but I am not sure how. I am just using the video card that came with the computer. Compaq Presario bought Jan 2004. Could it be the video card? I am using Roxio Easy Media Creator basic DVD home that came with my Plextor burner. I also dowloaded a trial version of Ulead Video Studio 9 and so I created the same "montage" with this and the video seemed to improve. But by being a guy that looks at quality, I want to make sure that when I transfer over my 30 some mini-dv tapes, that I don't lose quality, noticeable to the naked eye. Please help me!!!!! TIA Rob
What kind of DVD Media are you using ...... cheap ..... ie: Memorex and other dvds can do this all the time. If you want something that is gonna last for along time get some good quality DVD media likeTayo Yuden .... Maxell or Verbatims disks.
I am using cheap media. Bought over a year ago when Office Max had spindles of 25 for $5. However, there was one that I burned that I used a Sony DVD-R. It has been in plastic but I bought it about 2 years ago. Any other thoughts??
