hello! is there anyone out there using iMovie? (Am i the only one left in this Wyndham novel??!!)
Please read below...and even if you have NO problems (ie NO degradation) with outputting to DVtape please let me know. At least then i would know it WAS possible and that it was just me/operator error... and just a case of identifying the problem...
Thanks whoever you are!

iMovie problem i could do with some help on....
I output my movie to a .dv file and compare with original. Fine, yep they look as the same as these eyes can tell!
I then output my short movie to digital dv tape (on Canon XL2) and playback results but hold on a minute it doesn't look the same. The text on the credits is all... degraded, lost its clarity, all bitty.
Now i was led to believe that 0s & 1s were always the same no matter what digital format they were stored on but this reminds me of analogue degradation.
I've tried changing tapes, changing cameras to no avail, which just leaves iMovie.
Anyone else come across this? Any solutions?/Please help!
Thanks...
