Why are my videos of very low quality when I download them on my computer from my camera?

Question

I have a video camera ( model sony handycam dcr- trv 270E to be precise) and when I make a film and play it on the telly it`s very good from the quality speaking. After that I copy it on my computer and it`s of such a bad quality that it lookslike I had made it with a bad photo camera.

How can I keep it`s quality?

Answer 1

I don`t know.

Answer 2

with a software (divx converter) convert this film in to an avi. file . good luck !

Answer 3

How are you transferring the video to your PC?  The dcr- trv270 is a Digital8 camcorder - there should be no loss of quality if you're using firewire.
