      I'm using a Gateway E6610D computer and here's the specs http://http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16883113017&local=y

       

      Camera- Sony DSR PD170

      Tapes used: Sony DVCAM ME  40min.

                        Maxell mini DV ME DVM60SE

                        Panasonic DVM60 ME

       

      I capture via firewire into PC with Windows XP, I'm editing with PPCS4 and also have CS3 installed. I know there's a card installed on my PC to handle dual screen but since it's my work PC i really don't know what it is. I opened it up and see that the card is red but it doesn't say much else on it.

       

      the video integrity is really noticable when I use my green screen and when I scale up the video. I think the tapes might have a lot to do with it, what suggestions can i get to improve video quality using what I have? Tapes? Settings?

       

      Ooops, here's my settings in CS4 when i capture: Sequence Presets i set to> DV NTSC > Standard 48kHz and that comes with all its presets.

       

      Thanks, Rick T
