Thanks Michael,
Someone actually just forwarded me a link for a free trial of “Bitvice”. I’m going to try it out..

I appreciate your response, Michael. I went to the FAQ section and followed the exact instructions
for outputting to DVD. However, my titles are still jagged. The video itself looks great, but as mentioned, when the titles appear and push in, there are still jagged lines around them and they look kinda blurry. They look completely fine when I first export out of Final Cut using the “current settings” option, but when I take it into compressor, compress to “best quality 90 mins” then burn the DVD from DVD studio pro I’m still not getting that clear picture on the tv monitor.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again!

Thanks for your response, Dave.
The tapes sound absolutely fine when I play them.

Much appreciated Craig,
I actually was able to find a program called “Aimersoft Total Media Converter” which worked pretty
well. Transferred them to Quicktime files with the highest resolution being 1280×720
with the H.264 encoder. I made the bit rate 1200 kbps. Footage looks good but I’m not sure how it compares to the original .MTS files. There are also options to convert to .ASF, various .MPEG Versions, .MKV and XVID AVI. I’m doing the right thing by just making them .MOV files for the best quality to edit/export from FCP, correct?

Sorry, this whole conversion things drives me batty!
