Ok, Im totally new at filming and capturing. I captured this clip through premiere and its only a five second clip. I noticed that when I played back the clip on windows media player, there a very small horizontal lines running through it. What is this? And also when I went to upload the clip, it took 7 minutes for the 5 second clip to upload. Its only a 5 second clip but its says its almost 20 mb. What is up with this? What am I doing wrong? Please help!

P.S. Im using what I found out was these really crapy JVC DVC M-DV60 DU tapes
 
18MB is about right for 5 seconds of DV.

What framerate did you shoot in? What version of Premiere?

What you're seeing are interlaced artifacts. DV is an interlaced format, and even progressive footage must be stored that way on tape.

I shot in 24p. I used premiere pro 2.0. It did seem like an interlacing affect but I never noticed it on anything else I have shot. I also didnt notice it while capturing.
 
#1) Don't mix tapes around with the DVX as you would with a cheap camcorder. There are two kinds of lubricants used on tapes, one wet and one dry, and when you use both of them it can foul the heads and require cleaning. I don't know what kind of lubricant JVC uses. And that will have nothing to do with the results you are seeing. Just a warning from experience. :-,

#2) There is 24p and 24pA. Make sure you know which one you are shooting in. Because the way that it tops up the frames from 24 to 30 so that it can be recorded on DV tape is different.

#3) Make sure you are editing on an appropriate timeline in Premiere.

#4) Check the properties of the clip after you've imported it into Premiere. You may need to use the "Interpret Footage" feature in Premiere (right click on the clip), and then select "Remove 24p DV Pulldown". If you haven't done this you may be getting interlace artifacts from those extra frames that were inserted to store the 24p onto tape.
