Your problem will be related to the way movies are rendered. DV is recorded on interlaced frames - watching it you get both, grabbing a still you get half the lines (apparently) - this review might help: http://www.epinions.com/elec-review-6EB0-17DF4DD2-3847F8BE-bd1 if you want good quality stills get still digital camera, if you want to take still images get a dual DV camcorder that has the stills option, but beware the low resolution likely from such still images. hth Tony -- http://www.xebit.net/ Sent with M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: https://secure.bmtmicro.com/opera/buy-opera.html?AID=627923
