Dear user,
Sorry for the delay in reply.

There is no switch or capability of this camera to output DV. There is a S-Video output |
You can still use AVS Video Recorder to record from your camera.
If you use an external video capture board supplied with RCA and S-Video jacks, the best way to link the devices is to connect the VHS recorder/player S-Video output with the video capture board S-Video input using the corresponding cable so to relay a video signal. To relay an audio signal use an RCA cable, connecting your VHS recorder/player RCA output with the video capture device RCA input but employing white and red jacks only. And then use a USB cable to connect the external video capture board to the computer USB port.
See the
user guide on how to convert VHS tapes to digital format.

Which format should I select to get the best resolution and compatibility with your Video Editor? |
If you use AVS Video Recorder, please use the option "Recommeded format" - "Native". If you use a third party software, please use the format that is of better quality (with higher video bitrate, frame rate, frame size).
To get the better quality output in AVS Video Editor please choose input bitrate, frame size and frame rate options for the output by clicking on the Advanced button (see the screenshot attached).

DVD's I burn in your program looked about the same, except they did not fill the TV screen as much as the corresponding Blu-Ray's I burned |
BlueRay and DVD videos have different frame aspect ratio, so if you create BlueRay you need to select 16:9 aspect, DVD - 4:3 for your video project. To do it press the Edit button on the top toolbar - Aspect ratio - select the needed one.

The down side was that when using a DVD as input to your editor, the burned Blu-Ray showed pixelation on the 1280 line Blu-Ray burn, but no pixelation when burning to a 720 line Blu-Ray. |
You will receive the better video quality for created video if the input and output parameters like video bitrate, frame rate and frame size are the same or similar.
In your case, 720 line Blu-Ray video parameters were more similar to those of input DVD that those of 1280 line Blu-Ray, that is why the latter was worse in quality.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance to you.
Kind regards
