Movie Quality

Whenever I rip a home movie to my computer (either off a dvd, or using a tv tuner card and hooking up the camera to it) it always looks horrible maximized. Why is this? I can hook up the camera to a tv, and it'll look fine, but if I hook it up to my computer, it looks horrible (and even worse when i burn it to a dvd).

Particularly the dvd rips, I figured they'd look better than hooking the camera [with the dvd in it] up to my tv tuner card...I guess I was wrong.

What's going on here?

Also, I'm sorry if I broke the rules...I know we're not supposed to talk about dvd ripping, but I figured it was okay since this is about home movies, and not copyrighted content.
 
the source is a small, interlaced, analog video

expecting a $60 tuner card to do realtime de-interlacing/scaling/and single-pass mpeg encoding just isn't realistic.

Just look at how faded the colors of the source become after the digital-to-analog conversion.

Your best bet is to buy a component dvd-vcr combo to dub the videos to dvd.
