Hello, I have some problems with my DC30 Plus capture card :

1- I couldn't print video to tape, what could be the problem?

2- The capture function works, but the video quality is not as I expected, the object's edges are not sharp, it is blurred. What can I do to enhance it ? I tried both the composite and S-Video input, but no big difference.

3- What is the best backup system that can suite the video production projects (is it JAZZ drive, or CD-Writer, or DVD-Writer, or...)?

My system:
Windows NT 4
128 MB RAM
10 GB HD
All in wonder VGA card
Video editing: Adobe Premiere 5.1

Thanks in advance

I too have a DC30+. My hookups for video is like this:
The Composite Video Out I have going to my VCR Video In and then my VCR Video Out to my TV Video in. This way, whenever I play something (as in automatically after a render) it shows up on the TV and if I plug in a tape into my VCR it will record whatever is playing. I've never had to use the Print To Video funtion.
The only thing that comes to mind with your quality is that you might have comression settings low. In Premiere, get to your video input settings and then make sure everything is set to best/full/100 etc.

Thanks Film Boy for your valuable input. I also recently discovered a very useful DC30+ discussion forum, any one have DC30+ can gain a lot from it.
