Steve, Got something that is OK looking but deinterlacing is part of the equation so there's a loss of quality.
I had the same jagged-edge problems today when I used the camcorder for Skype via Splitcam. It was fixed by setting Splitcam to deinterlace. I'm wondering whether a preset on the camera itself has been changed inadvertently, or whether the Fireware/DV drivers on my computer have gone awry. All this on top of the great format quandary to make something that works on both iPods and Apple TV!!!!
