I have a new Nikon digital camera that shoots Video in HD. I tried a few short test films and they worked but when I am converting them to mpeg 2 best quality on my computer they seem downgraded in video picture quality. Is there a better file type creator 2009 will allow or is that the max?

If you are making a standard DVD, then the video is going to be 720 by 480 (lines) of resolution. If you are burning the DVD at best quality, there is nothing you can do to make it better.
If you have a blu-ray player, you can make an AVCHD disc at high definition with your normal burner. You need the blu-ray player that will play AVCHD discs. The only thing is that you can get only about 40 minutes on a DVD at best quality.
Of course, you can make blu-ray discs if you have the burner, player and discs.
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Ok thanks, I just wanted to be sure I was at the max. I don't have a blue ray player or burner and can not see the need at this point. The majority of my video conversion needs are to finish converting the family VHS library to DVD for viewing and safe keeping. At family gatherings I will of course shoot some new footage and again burn to DVD. Maybe once I have grand kids I could see the need to upgrade? I just did not want to leave anything on the table. The 50-100 hours of VHS I have to do are way lower quality anyways.
