This is a reason for concern! It _could_ be because of your playback or
display setup, though. But you should make sure that there are no dropped
frames or bad handling of interlacing in the DV encoding step.
The A/D S-Video/DV converting was made using the Datavideo DN-300 video
HDD recorder, 250GB or 19 hours of some of my first Hi8 footages.
By monitoring S-video output to HDTV during recording, I could see that
the playback in general (before adjusting brightnes) became darker than
the Hi8 source.
I know some of footages have some TBC error and dropout due to a growing
video head error. But I used a TBC with some filtering added. I could
also add that due to a faulty button panel, it wasn't possible to set
the camcorder in Edit mode. But I don't think there is noticeable
processing of the signal during playback on this Sony Hi8 camcorder.
Else I haven't made any extensiv testing or any customizing. I firewire
mounted DN300 to my fast office workstation running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64
(Dell Precision 490, Xeon 5160 3GHx, 1333Mhz FSB, 2GB RAM, NVidia Quadro
FX550, 24"LCD 1900x1200). Opened DV files in Mplayer default setup, and
also upscaled the window to screen.
I won't say the converted DV quality in general bad, just not as good as
monitoring playback of the S-video source. On some portions I can see
some grain. Maybe this is due to I had to add brightness to the video,
and/or noise from the tape. I reality I think this is just what Adobe
said in their DV primer: the DV bandwidth 3.6 MB/s can be a little too
small for S-video plus noise from tape.
