Well I did get everything covering the screen but now the res has went really bad. However I managed to keep the quality high on things like windows movie maker. Does anyone know why this is?

Keep the convo in the original thread that you made!

Is your video an mpeg? Cause its small for some reason if it is. Make it into an AVI and i'm sure it will work.

How do you know it was better res? Did you export it back to tape from movie maker? I'm going to assume you didn't (or you wouldnt have gone to premiere with it) and if thats the case, it may look like higher res on the comp b/c of the playback size. If you size your premiere window to match i bet it would look the same. And filmmaker, MPG vs AVI is kind of irrelevant because both formats could be compressed lowering res, an AVI isnt automatically an uncompressed DV stream like the captured files in premiere. Besides, if he captured in movie maker its safe to assume it comes out AVI, microsoft invented the format didnt they?

anyway, if you want to clean the look up you are basically screwed unless you reimport using a better interface. You never did say what you used, that is your culprit without a doubt.

I used a a cord that connects audio/video cables to the internet through the USB port

Well, that's probably your problem. Firewire is for video. Not USB. If you don't have a firewire or digital camcorder, then you need a converter such as dazzle or pyro.

yep. if you are using usb then you are undoubtedly receiving 320x240 res which is going to look low res no matter how you cut it. Can't really do anything in post to help it.
