are you using firewire or USB?

make sure you're uploading it in DV-AVI format for the best quality. If you're doing that and the quality still sucks it's probably just your computer slowing down.

Yeah, a big problem might be using USB. If you can, upgrade to firewire, a card is only like $30. USB 2.0 is supposed to be as fast or faster then firewire, but its more expensive. Also, check to see what your computer is importing the video as, it might be compressing it as it comes in, if thats true try to find a way to change it to AVI as it comes in. If you have anymore questions just PM me.

it's probably because you have a shitty camera.


I think Anthony Boronowski in general is just a phase.

Umm I'm pretty sure it is because of Windows Movies Makers uploadign capabilities, my friend uploaded a coupel shots and the quality wasn't so hot. What I would suggest is to go download the preview version of premiere off adobe.com. Or you could just dl the full version but I really wouldn't suggest going out and buying it unless you have the money to spend.

if i am correct, windows movie maker uploads in its own proprietary format, which sucks. i suggest pinnacle studio 9, mostly because its really easy to use, so coming from windows movie maker shouldnt be a huge task for you. also,if you have to buy it, its way more affordable than premiere.

that could help too, but does everyone agree that windows movie maker sucks and a different program would help?

Windows Movie Maker can upload in a bunch of settings. One of which is DV-AVI which is the highest quality you can get. It uploads perfectly for me.

sometimes called 'capturing'

you don't 'transfer' your footage..you 're-record' it to your computer..

but check your capture settings and make sure there stands DV AVI.

just go and screw with WMM, you can get it to crank out good quality. like before, do it in DV-AVI.
