video capturing from Sony MiniDV

[jamnw]

I have a Sony TRV19 HandyCam.

I use 1394 (firewire) to capture the video.

It came with ImageMixer v1.5.

When I burn the captured video to a disk... Well I can't say what it looks like on here.

From what I've read, it looks like the problem might be with the software. It only saves the video in MPEG1 standard.
I don't see a way to change that.

I'm sure there is a better program out there.
Any suggestions?

Thanks
Jamie

Not to sure what your on about.
But VEGAS VIDEO is a very good program but takes some getting used to.http://mediasoftware.sonypictures.com/Products/ShowProduct.asp?PID=914&Version=4.0e&Build=239
And Ulead VideoStudio http://www.ulead.com/runme_ns.htm

For DV capture i would recommend ulead movie factory or pinnacle. But it all depends on what ui want to do with resulting conversion. (Dvd-Divx-VCD-etc)...SasArchiver.....or an easy and free one is windvr.
