This has been answered many times...
Short of it: the DV record speed cannot be changed;
the slow-motion playback can be used for capture
(with the sound captured at normal speed later); many
NLE programs can slow the video (and sound editors
can slow the sound, without pitch changes), though
simple multiples of speed changes work best; there
exist some stand-alone programs for speed changes;
adding a copy of the slowed video to an effects
track at 50% transparency helps smooth the result;
