[MacDV] Capturing video on screen

[Wilhelm Wanders]

mh,
JES deinterlacer worked always fine for me. i only did NTSC to PAL  
conversions though. for my wedding videos (some guests where from  
europe, thus PL footage) i actually send in the tapes to some company  
on the web. they converted the tapes in 10 days for 15 dollar (2  
tapes, one older hi-8 PAL and one miniDV PAL) - i got the originals  
back and 2 dvds with the footage. perfect results.
so i guess if you are looking for high quality conversions, you gotta  
look for someone with hardware encoder ... but (and i hate to say  
that) ... beware of some local guys - i asked for the same job around  
in my town and the chaepest would have been 3 weeks and 100$ ...
