Last night I displayed three minidv tapes I made last week at a wedding.
I was dismayed with the moire until I noticed that the moire persisted
when I stopped the tape. Therefore it's not on the recordings but has to
do with the connection of my new Canon Optura 20 minidv camcorder to my
Sanyo PLV-Z2 front projector. The connection is a 25 foot S-Video cable.
What has me puzzled is that I had previously watched one or two other
minidv tapes in exactly the same way and didn't notice any moire. I had
the camcorder's sound connected to my receiver the same way both times,
with the same cable, was using the same S-Video cable. The moire is
almost vertical (slants slightly to the left), moves slowly to the right
and there are approximately 50 bands of moire.
I realize that once I transfer the video to my PC, edit it, and write to
DVD, it shouldn't be a problem, however I wonder what I can do to stop
this moire when viewing minidv tapes directly from the camcorder.
Any help very much appreciated.
