Hi David,
I opened the .MOV file I captured with quicktime and VLC player, and that is where I saw the quality of the video. I opened a similar AVI file that I captured on the pc with vlc, and the quality of the video is much sharper. That is how I judged it. I have a Panasonic Mini DV camera that is not HD. When capturing, should I just select NTSC as the format, or is there another format/setting you would suggest for better quality?
