Hi,
I have a Sony HC19, firewire card and a choice of Sony Picture Package or Nero Reloaded for capture/edit/author/burn software. I have a DVD writer and have 'successfully' created some DVDs. The quality of the video isn't fantastic - not nearly as good as if I play the SonyHC19 directly throught the TV. What should I next be doing to ensure good quality DVD video? I've had a look around on the net and the advice seems conflicting.

I'm planning to look into VHS capture next but I want to be sure that I can capture DV and create DVDs of good quality first or I will then get really confused!

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie.
