I recently got the JVC GR-275U and am somewhat horrified with the quality. The coloring is a bit off and the picture is pixilated. Here is my setup: I use a "geek squad" DV cable to get my video onto my PC I used Windows Movie Maker to extract the video to my PC I used a JVC MiniVD 60 ME cassett I recorded using Standard Play Since I am new to digital camcorders, I am not sure what to expect. Any thoughts on how to "test" if my camcorder is working right? Any thoughts on if the cable or the download software might be bad? Also, any thoughts on how to maximize the quality in general? Thanks in advance. -E
If you're using MovieMaker, are you by any chance capturing in wmv? Look at this article: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/tutorials/moviemakermistakes.php
