I tried all of the things you suggested and the results are fair at best.
Not good enough to print.
I have my Sony 8.1 MP camera set at its highest settings and it takes
and prints great stills. The movie clips are good viewed on the computer.

I have not tried this before. Might I get better results purchasing a
capture program?

Thanks for your help,
