Yeah it's dark but so's the film! I didn't alter the brightness/colour levels when doing the transfer, it looks much better on a proper tv than viewing on a monitor, the picture's a bit grainy but preferred that over one that looks slightly out-of-focus and blurry, however that's only the mk.2 I did 9 months ago and when I've finished my SW discs I'll be doing mk.3 that'll look even better (I learnt some new tricks
)I got some more DVD-Rs so anyone who's contacted me about this, drop me another line!
