also picture isn't clear very chopy looks like noise. tapes are brand new, high quailty tapes used. is this normal with this cam.
also i've seen footage on this site with dvx100 the footage is so much clear then my footage.
whats the best way to record with a dvx100.

you must have prssed the zebra button on the side of your camera,it shows where your highlight on your footage is over or under. try pressing that button again and it will dissapear.
 
Check the zebra button first on your comp and switch it off then i always use 24p to record..try it
 
Same problem I'm having if I understand you correctly. Not the zebra stripes indicating over exposure. It looks like the objects filmed were built out of legos. Jagged edges and noise. I've also tried 24p, 30p and progressive "off". Nothing seems to help.

Any other help? I'm trying to film snowboarding, rails and other terrain.
 
if its only lines on the moving objects you need to de-interlace your footage and it should solve your problem
 
sorry for hi-jacking this thread but how do I de-interlace my footage. I'm using imovie 09. It isn't just the moving objects either, it's the stationary objects as well.

Thanks.
 
Is it doing the same thing when exporting a DVD or it's only on the computer monitor screen?

It may be only the display settings of your NLE. Usually, with advanced NLE, you can choose to display odd, even or both fields. Or you have quarter resolution display, full quality display, etc.
 
Okay... Very new to any of this. Abbreviations are killing me. NLE??? Sorry for my lack of knowledge but...

My first filming attempts I was shooting in a low shutter speed, very blurry. I haven't tried burning to DVD yet with higher shutter speeds.

Again sorry for hi-jacking this thread but hopefully this helps original question.

Thanks.
 
NLE stands for Non Linear Editing (or Editor). It's an editing software.

For sure a low shutter speed (or slow shutter) will give you blurry images. It's the same thing in photography. A slow shutter is more prone to blur than a fast shutter.

A normal shutter is 1/50 or 1/60 of a second. Higher shutters are better for fast moving objects, slower shutters can be fine for static subjects.
 
Bright sunshine today so I was able to shoot at 2000 shutter speed with progressive setting off... best images so far, really crisp and colorful. jagged images seem almost non-existent with progressive off. Even 1000 looked great but had to use ND filter.

Finally making some ground.
