Hi everyone, hope you can help. Here is my issue. I have Pinnacle Studio 8 as my video editing software. I am using a Sony trv240 camcorder to put video into the PC via Firewire card I just bought. (Texas Instruments OHCI compliant controller) I am using a Belkin cable I got at Best Buy.

When i look at the view on the TV or camcorder playback on LCD, the picture looks great. Proper lighting, etc. When I input to the pc it looks just awful. Dark grainy picture. What could be wrong? Is this new firewire card i bought a piece of junk?

Thanks for any help!
