MM2 Observer screen very dark

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

The camera is a JVC GR DVL 805 Digital movie camera. It came with a cable
that fits into the camera on 1 end and the other fits into the computer, a
fairly recently built one.

It is USB and the other is Firewire.

The thing I noticed though, is that the monitor window in MM2 shows the
images taken at night very dark, almost black, whereas on the monitor window
of the camera they were fine.

Is that attributable to MM2? The images look very normal, considering it was
taken at night, in the viewfinder and camera flip-out screen.

What might be the problem?

I am using Windows XP SP2, plenty of RAM and a separate HD for video.

And where specifically, please?
I looked at both Commercial sites, but see nothing of an answer there.

My answer, to the same question as posed in various newsgroups and after
various other posts, is in the moviemaker newsgroup..
