Video darkens when capturing

Jman257 wrote on 6/25/2003, 7:22 PM

I captured about 4 mins of video footage which I want to burn to DVD. When I play the video in the capture window, the vid looks just the way it does on the LCD screen on the camcorder. When I click capture video, the video gets dark. It also renders this way. Any suggestions?

ive asked this question 4 times and no answers .... but I don't have a problem of it rendering that way .. (maybe because i dont render to DV) .

i am rather curious myself ...

*Might* want to check color controls and settings within VV4... How does the video look played back on a TV monitor?

Could be just the different color spaces used by your PC vs a TV. Might want to post with your make/model of camera, what you're using to capture etc. If the video is Not darker when played back on TV (not on your PC), I'd suspect it's just the different environs, and adjust your workflow accordingly -> if intended for PC playback, perhaps just a tad of brighten or raising gamma - if intended for TV, leave it more or less alone, using an external TV monitor to check anything critical.

I am using a Sony DCR-PC100 Camcorder and capturing via firewire.
