Subject: quality of realvideo when encoding video from Mini DV camera

We've been using a a Sony DCR PC-1 Mini DV camera to capture footage, and
I'm finding that the quality I get when I encode to realvideo format hasn't
been all that great.  I would imagine that the nature of Mini DV would use a
somewhat lossy form of compression similar to -- if not exactly like --
MPEG, and if this is correct, then that would perhaps explain the resulting
cruddy looking realvideo.

Is anyone else here using this camera for capturing footage to be encoded to
realvideo?  If so, is there a setting of any kind that we can tweak that
would get us better quality footage, .. like by setting a lower compression
ratio or something?  Or did we just plain purchase the wrong camera for this
sort of thing?

thanks,
