Video Images at Night Playback Dark

The simple answer is that the IR LEDS are not working. This could be a simple repair by an electronic hobbyist or repair shop.

It's going into ir sound like you are not supplying enough power to the cameras or you might have a timer on you system

What model JVC Everio camcorder? Are you recording in a wide-screen mode and then playing back otherwise?

This Also happens to mee ,, your computer cant handle the hd format ,, either convert the files or get a newer pc / graphics ard wtvr ,, my playback works on laptop but not on pc :)

Video head was dirty / clogged due to old tapes usage so it did not recorded any signal on tape and now it requires cleaning with good quality head cleaning tape to record and playback properly.

you can't ! you have to slow you footage afterwards.
Anyway, try to record with a slow speed shutter (1/30th of a second or less) to fluidify your images but if you want to slow down your footage, it's probably because the scene is "fast" and this doesn't could help you anyway !!!

Did you change the file name on the original video? Are you able to put the video back onto the camera? If you changed the file name, you can't put it back onto the camera. It also needs to be in AVI format which is the video format that the camera records in.

Hope this helps!

Hello there.

At a first guess, i would say you have the video quality settings on the camera too high. These new cameras and video recorders can store very high definition images and at the highest setting a laptop will have trouble playing the footage back without skipping or artifacting.

I would recommend checking the camera settings and lowering the resolution to something more manageable.

If you are unsure of this please write back.

Hope this helps.
