    So I got the Firewire cable and all is working well. I imported in last night using the windows movie maker. I am just wondering, when i used the Sony software, the movie would be imported as avi, and the converted to Mpeg1. Last night with the windows movie maker, i am convinced the picture is much crisper and of better quality. is it using a different compression?. Is there anything i can do to improve the quality even more?. or am I restricted by what the handy cam takes?.

    Windows movie maker probably use Windows media, which is a lot bigger, and less compressed AFAIK.

    Thanks John. Last question, is it then possible to transfer this quality to DVD, or will i lose it in transformation due to compression?

    DVD uses Mpeg 4 compression, and the end file will need to be less then 4.7 gigs, unless you have a dual layer burner (Unlikely) So it's unlikely you'll keep the same quality.

    I have a dual layer burner and i have double layer DVDs. Maybe i should update this, when i get as far as burning and see whats happening. I still think when i look at the movie in Movie maker it looks much clearer than if i view it in Media player.
