Default video playback quality

I have a 580 line helmet cam hooked to a minidvd. From that I have a firewire setup for capture. Using Pinacle 8 I have made a vidio and the clarity is wanting. There is poor definition. Portions are blurred or washed out. Any thing I can do to improve the quality? Can I make adjustments with what I have or should I get different software? I guesss I should say that the video is Mountain biking and there is constant movement with varying speeds.[/b]

Without further info I would guess this is a limitation of the bullet cam, if so, you just have to tweak the footage in the editor. Try sharpening, and play with brightness / contrast / curves.
