DV Capture Limited Resolution

[padhraig]

When capturing DV to my laptop the highest possible
resolution I can get is around 320 X 240. When I specify
to capture full DV-AVI I only get the low quality 320 X
240.

Whenever I connect my DV Camcorder to the laptop through a
firewire port Windows XP automatically recognises it and
asks me if I would like to capture video using Movie
Maker. An new option is made available in My Computer.
There's an icon of a video camera which when clicked opens
the usual explorer window showing what the camera sees or
plays. This video is also only 320 X 240.

I don't understand it. Why can't I get a higher resolution
video?

Try using a real program! Something by i.e. Adobe, Ulead
or check out one of the many freeware/shareware options
out there.
