I have a Sony TRV38 and can capture video with the firewire , s-video +
audio or the analog audio / video.

(I have the Nvida and Sony and WinFast Capure drivers. I can capture
s-video / composite with Nvida or Winfast and only DV with Sony)

Thinking the firewire (DV output ?) would be better I was suprised to
find out it was dark compared to using s-video or analog.

In fact I would say my results were better not using DV Capture, but
S-Video in making movies.

Does this seem strange?

Thoughts on what I might have not done right?

Thanks
