Are you judging the image quality from the preview

window, or output DV to/from camera? The preview window

is a lower-quality software display, generally - though

I use the hardware overlay from a Raptor card at 720x480

for computer display which does show full image

resolution and frame rate (and gives me a TV-output...).

Also, it is often (usually?) NOT adviseable to deinterlace

stills - large "jaggies" can result... And, in P-6, I've

gone back to "square pixels" to solve some transition

problems (mainly, softening of images when colored-edges

are used on transitions) - and to using 4:3 proportions

for graphics (at double-resolution) for best results.

You can start with 720x534, or 1440x1068 (1440x960 also

works well for me...).
