Sounds like dirty video heads.
Try running an appropriate head cleaning tape. After two or three attempts if there is no improvement it's time to see a tech.

Hi,
You will need a firewire cable and a firewire port on your computer. If you don't have such a port then you can buy a firewire pci card.

You have to download the disc that comes with the picture and then do like i did and download DVDfab 6 (50.00) and mine came out perfect.

I have a question? I haven't used it in years. I charged the battery and attached it and it won't come on. No light comes on, it won't do anything. What could be the problem(s).

try to use pinnacale software...
