A decent analog->dv box, which I think Canopus is, should give you very good quality. I am not sure I understand what is "not perfect" about your video. Is it interlacing artifacts that troubles you? Video for TV (including DV) is interlaced with alternating lines differing in time and best suited for display on TV. When shown on a computer monitor the two fields differing in time are displayed together into as a single frame, so you may see combing effects at fast motion scenes. (see http://www.lukesvideo.com/interlacing.html) Try playing with mplayer's deinterlacing option (-npp lb ?) for a smoother looking display. If your final mpeg or divx movie is meant for viewing on a TV monitor you need not worry about the interlacing artifacts, but if you are more concerned about smoother display on a computer monitor you can deinterlace the video using yuvdenoise -F before transcoding. Deinterlacing is a lossy process so do it only if you really need progressive video. Most software players can do some primitive deinterlacing on the fly. If you are talking of quality issues other than interlacing artifacts, try to describe what you see in more detail -- someone on the list may be able to help you.
