I have realised that ever since I bought my laptop the firewire port has not been working properly. Any video imported from a DV camera using firewire is very dark on my pc. I am importing the video as .avi files.
I have tried different cameras, tapes, cables, import software. Everything results in dark video on my laptop.
But as soon as I use any of that equipment on another laptop it's fine.
So the issue must be with my laptop and the firewire. I don't have an express card slot so I have to try and fix it.
I can't find anything on google. I bought the laptop to edit video and now it's useless. Can anyone help?
Thank you, Josh
