Having issues with recording from my Sony DVD to DVD. The issue appears to be more with conversion to the DVD format than the DVD drive itself. When I record it and the program converts it, I see what looks like a few defined lines in the video - not the crystal clear look my DV camcorder has. When I put it to DVD, it appears grainy, especially if I pause it. I am running XP - and had same issue on my old Gateway running Win98. I have a Sony 1.8 ghz computer with a 7200 rpm harddrive. Ive used various apps including Pinnacle Express and most lately the trial version of Ulead's Visual Studio 6. At some point with experimenting with capturing, I did capture an AVI file which printed perfectly on the DVD, but not sure which I captured it with. I have checked the settings and followed the Ulead VS6 tutorial to a tee as to capturing from my DV Camcorder. The instructions themselves say NO LOSS OF QUALITY, though there is obvious quality. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.......

PS I can tell when the end product will be bad as when it creates the MPEG-2 file in VS6, and especially when the camera pans, I see those defined out of focus lines, which makes for a grainy end product. Any info is greatly appreciated!
