Can anyone help me with this?
I have a P4 3.0 mhz machine with a fast video card, 1 gig of RAM and win XP pro.
I transfer digital video from my sony video camera to the PC using Pixela and the USB conx. Pixela gives me the option of converting to MPEG 1 or AVI in various levels of quality.
My problem is that no matter what format I use, MPEG1 or AVI the resulting image is very ordinary even when set at "Highest Quality".
Its not too bad if I run it in the default window size in media player ( a couple of inches square) but when I go full screen it is very poor, like an extremely low res photo.
How can the image be so great on a whopping big TV but so crap on the computer? Do I need better software?
Any help gratefully received!
