• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Poor video on export

Hello,

I've recently switched over the Mac and the iMovie software. I've just shot a wedding video on a HDV Sony Z1 camera and imported the footage into iMovie 11 and edited together a few short sequences. The untuitive nature of the software is pretty good but upon exporting the footage to any format I'm finding the picture quality is very poor. Blacks seem to pixilate and the whole picture seems 'soft' even though I shot it on DVCAM.

Have I done something wrong in the capturing stage or export stage that I could rectify this with?
