Chris,

How does the text look if you watch the ouput on your television 
monitor/set?  That's the best way to evaluate quality, and what you 
should be doing as you edit.

How? Run a FireWire cable from your Mini to your camcorder, and then 
analog video from the camcorder to your television monitor or set (with 
video/audio inputs).  You'll need to turn the camcorder on to the VTR 
position.

Ted.
