I get really poor quality results grainy and no audio

[Steelworks]

Greetings to all,

I have a great little JVC DVL-100 MiniDV camera and have
downloaded my tapes to Windows movie maker 2
successfully.

The edited version of the movie outputs to
the camera (After 6 hours of rendering) but the camera
records no audio and the quality is horrible. I have
cleaned the heads on the camera ...made sure that the
volume was working from recording other things....and the
correct cable is tight and right. I had Pinnicle studio
8 installed and it was lousy too. I have a 1.25 ghz
processor...an evga 5600xt video card and the new sonic
blaster audio card. I even installed a new 80gig hard
drive just for video. I have updated all of the drivers
and they work great on everything else......PLEASE HELP
this frustrated producer....Thanks !!!

Connecting via firewire?

Inporting as DV-AVI?

While exporting, every 'unnecessary' application disabled or shut down?
