Railfan Technology > Editing Video Color

First off I am new to converting to digital.
I have been converting some of my videos that were recorded on mini-DVD's to digital format. However, when I convert them they seem to look as if the color is faded. If I watch the videos directly from the camcorder on the TV the color is very good, not so once I convert them to wmv or MP4 format.
Are there any programs out there that will help restore all or some of the color? Or is there a way to convert the video to a digital format without the loss of color?

Thanks in advance for any help you can lend.

From the camcorder the files are flv files and then I use flvgrabber to convert the video to wmv.

Thanks

After you convert them to wmv. what do you use to view them?

I watch them in Windows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker.

Am I correct in thinking after you convert them you watch them on your computer, not your TV ? If that's the case it might be your computers monitor needs adjustment.

Correct. The plan was to include some of the short clips in a slide show presentation that I am working on. I was just thinking that it maybe the monitor settings, but the still photos have great color on the same monitor.
