    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, sorry if its wrong!

    I have a handycam Handycam DC-HC20E and the picture package program is brutal.
    I would like to get the video footage onto the laptop / dvd and keep the resolution but PP doesn't keep it and it is really blurry.

    Are there any other programs that are better than PP that I could use?

    Thanks!

    What connection are you using? It's been a while but far as I recall it has to be firewire ( I think sony call it "iLink, your PC will probably call it IEEE 1394) for full DV, the USB connection only gives you half-res video. I used the Windows Movie Maker app (y'know, the one that's pre-installed on XP) to pull the footage in from my handycam, didn't have any problems with the resolution. Storage space, now that's another story :)

    If memory serves, the Sony cameras don't come with a firewire cable, you have to source it separately.

    Thanks Banjo, I will look for a iLink cable as the half res is no use!
