G200 Capture

[smithgt]

I have a G200 and the current driver and Vid Tools versions, but the colour matching between my camcorder and my PC is not very accurate. I have tried playing with the brightness and contract settings, but the PC display is just not as bright and the colours seem a little grey.

Does anybody have any thoughts on why this might be?

My G200 Marvel has been junked since W2K came out, but I could never get correct color balance from it under Win95 or Win98se.

In my case capture to the computer and display on the computer was a good match to the video played from the camcorder on a TV but output of the captures back to tape was terrible. I used a Sima SCC to "correct" the analog output before recording.

Somewhere under the Matrox Display Properties is an advanced tab that has adjustments for the colors, its been too long since I've used it to rember the details of how to find it.
