Just got a new mini DV camcorder. Canon Optura 600. Works great.

I taped a wedding. Everything looks fine.

I captured the video, using ULead Movie Factory 3. That went fine, too.

I then burned this to a DVD. Everything went fine.
Used the highest settings.

Comparing the two, the tape looks much cleaner, and with more vivid colors.

Everything on the disc sounds fine. The video is definitely less quality than the tape.

Is this the best I can expect? Or, am I not doing something correctly on the transfer/burn?

Having never done this before, I don't know much about what I should expect to see. I thought I would get an identical copy.
