I would love to see a few seconds of your original DV captures compared to what you are getting now. Even a few still frames would be useful. I've never seen a really good comparison showing what sort of differences you can get with a full-color, better compression capture chain compared to DV. I fully understand DV's limitations, but have always wondered when starting with VHS, 8mm, or Beta whether those differences would amount to much compared to the limitations in the source media. What I do know -- and you have just described it -- is getting the better capture chain working is often impossible for all but the most dedicated and informed user (that would be you in this case), whereas DV capture is pretty easy to set up and get right.
