Also, I think you've mentioned before that you use miniDV discs to capture your video. If you used a more recent video camera that records onto mini DVD's, wouldn't that yeild a higher quality transfer? I'm not sure if mini DVD's have as much space as miniDV tapes though, so this might be more time consuming.

Welcome to the forum!
MiniDVDs don't yield better quality than MiniDV tapes, worse actually. Well, let me clarify, the methods of recording the cameras use (video compression, etc) are different, the actual media doesn't make much difference as they are both digital. DVD cameras are really only on the market for convenience in playback, so therefore are really only good for videoing family holidays, etc.
