I am trying to capture video from Hi8 tape . I am able to do it but the
quality sucks.Very blurry not sharp and the color is not good. I can play
from the camera through the TV and everything looks great. But not on the
computer. The windows movie maker will also not allow me to choose DV-avi
when capturing. Would this make a difference even though I am using analog
tape. I am going from a Sony handy cam through the S-video on my ATI capture
card.
Thanks
 
That's probably as good as it will get. It's analog video which will always
look kind of bad compared with digital video. Think of a VHS tape quality
on your TV... it never looked as good as a DVD.

Your computer monitor is a much higher resolution than your TV (unless you
have HDTV).

It's probably as good as it will ever get.
 
Bruce,

How did you do it? I have a Sony analog camera and I am trying to do the
same thing. I can't even get the computer to acknowledge the camera. I just
hooked up a S video cord and still nothing. Help please.

Thanks,
Cindy
 
a) Windows Movie Maker is not designed for analog capture

b) Is this an S-Video IN port... or an OUT port... ?

c) IF it is an IN port it would have come with Analog Capture software.
Use that one instead.
