Capturing dv footage?
I’ve been using a firewire cable for the past few years to capture dv footage to premiere, is there a different way to capture the footage in a way to improve quality?

No. Firewire is a straight data transfer so you are making a perfect copy. Anything else is processing the signal.

Hi Matthias
the thing about using a separate deck has nothing to do with quality,
at least not of the transfer. It is recommended to use a separate
deck to limit the amount of wear you expose the way more fragile
drive that’s built into the camera to. This is most important if
your capture program keeps running the tape back and forth at each
new clip. I’m not sure how PPro does it (think I remember at least
1 was doing it this way) as I use ScenalyzerLive which can capture
and scene/clip-split a tape in a single play-through.— Kyle
