I capture video and when veiwing the video just captured in my windows media player, it is not perfect quality like on the camera. It is somewhat boxy. I Checked preferences for capturing and made sure it was on 29,970 NTSC. I don't know what else to do. I don't think its a hardware problem. please help!!

Windows Media Player is usually set to display DV at half resolution. Check your Media Player settings.

There TWO things you need to do.

First click on your display icon in the lower right hand corner. Once there Settings, then Troublshoot. Now move the hardware acceleration slider to Full (all the way to the right) close.

Open Media Player (assumes you're using version 9) Tools/Options/Performance again move the slider all the way to the right.

Remember if you view at double size or full screen, quality may not be that good.

Also to improve/change the look of a playing video, click on View, then enhancements then select show Video Settings. You get a brightness/contrast/hue/ saturation slider added.
