I need help transferring footage from camcorder to my computer. Pictures is pixelled and dark, any advice?

I am desperately trying to trasnfer footage from my cassette on my camcorder to my computer. When I play the tape in the camera, the pictures is wonderful! When I try to go through my computer program to make the DVD, the footage shows huge pixels and becomes distorted and dark. I have been truly spending about an hour a day on this for the past couple of days and I would really like to figure it out. I'm not a dumb individual and I've read through all the help menus and read the manuals. It still just will not work! But this footage is of an event that I really would like to have a DVD made of. If anyone can help me out with suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!I need help transferring footage from camcorder to my computer. Pictures is pixelled and dark, any advice?
I would suggest that you capture the video as standard AVI without compression. Then burn the file as DVD movie to DVD disc using Nero 7.I need help transferring footage from camcorder to my computer. Pictures is pixelled and dark, any advice?
