I have a GV-1480 system the at has extremely poor video recording clarity. I am using the GeoMpeg4 ASP codec and it is 720x480 non interlaced. The recordings are no where near the DVD quality that all these other forum users proclaim they are getting with these cards. I used a LCD spot monitor to focus all the camera's, focus is not the issue here. All my camera's (10 total ) are Pano WV-CP484's with Fujinon day night lenses. I have made videos using the Video log utility but the clarity is not there. I will be posting a some Video clips for everyone to comment on tomorrow, I am also updating the software tomorrow to 8.12.

Any comments would be welcomed after viewing the clips that I will attach tomorrow.
Here are some pictures still's. These are on a Pano cp484 with a Fujinon lense 12-50mm varifocal lense. I have some videos that I will put on my server tomorrow to let you see the picture quality of the videos.
The 360x240 stills blow the 720x480 stills away.
