Captured image becomes blur

Question

Hi, I am a new comer here.
Today I used my Panasonic DVCPro HD AG-HVX200 to record a stage show. I used tape to record it, did not use HD P2 card. The recording format is 480i/30p.
The I use FCP to capture the footage. When I viewed the footage, it turned out fine, but after they were captured, the image became so pixelled and blur.
It should be a pretty standard format, and I just use the standard NTSC to do the capturing work. First time to run into problem like this.
The problem comes from the original recording or the setup of Final Cut Pro?
Looking forward to your advice.

As Tom asks, but it's easy to determine if the recording is bad, just play it back onto a display that will show 480i/30p. Does it look good? it should. You must make some bizarre and deliberate choices to mess up a DV recording.
Most inquiries we see about bad captures or unexpectedly poor image are usually solved by viewing the playback on a proper display, changing the Canvas display, or changing the settings in the sequence to match the precisely the clip's properties.
