why are any imported movies always a little darker in mm2?
I can punch the brightness but of course loose some contrast... I do not
believe it is really supposed to work this way...

since we are converting some 1/2 reel to reel video tape this was really
noticeable when I went for 1/2 inch to dvcam them to mm2..... this was
dark to begin with but the resulting image was black until I bunched
brightness up several times.

it is not just this tape... things are a little darker always either
computer...


side issue.... we are looking for any old reels of 1/2 inch reel to reel
video tape anyone got any??
