Hello. I just bought a new JVC MiniDV camcorder. Now, I am not happy at all with the quality of the video. I used Movie Edit Pro 10 and Nero to capture and burn. During capture the quality was "digital-like" and the playback was "jerky" at times. When I burned it the same was the case. I am using a firewire with this. I will return this camera if I cannot get it straightened out soon. Does anybody have any advice they could give. I am recording my son's basketball and wrestling matches and I am just very upset with the quality. Would cleaning the heads make any difference even though it is new? I also read that the firewire cable does not matter as far as quality goes. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!
Does the software program that you are using report dropped frames? Because that lookj like being the problem. Check at the bottom of this page: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/basics/transfer.php
