I PUT THE SETTINGS TO THE HIGHEST QUALITY. This is a fantastic camcorder. I hear a lot of complains not about the camcorder but the lack of editing software. Listen up! Over at Amazon I was reading the reviews and a guy said that COREL VIDEO STUDIO PRO X2 DOES a great job. I downloaded the trial version (30 days) and it works flawless!!!! If you want an easy solution thats it. Here is how I did it. I hooked the USB connector to the computer (with play function on the camcorder) and imagemixer 3 software(provided with the camcorder) will automatically download all the m2t files. I prefer to just click on the drive and drop and drag all the files onto a file in my hardrive. Thats easy enough. Then bring up Corel videostudio program up, look for the file with the m2t files and it will make thumbnails of all the files you drag into the program. It also has a little viewer/player at the bottom so you can check out each file and play it before you drag in into the mainframe/timeline. After you do drag the files into the program for editing and you cut, enhance, process, add titles or whatever. When finished just click on the the ‘CREATE VIDEO FILE” and use either of these 2 settings. I tried them all and these gave me perfect picture quality. HDV 720-30p (HDV) HDV 720-30p (for PC) Note files rendered in HDV are half the size of those in (for PC) mode. I could not get WMV to work right at all. It looked like a 25th generation VHS copy. I’ll have to do more tests. My favorite …
