I have an old 1956 movie (The Mole People, if you must know) and when I ran it through a converter, I got a largely grayed or darkened copy in iMovie (6.0.1). Brief portions of ithis B&W movie came out fine, but most was too dark, and the dark/regular result seemed part of a pattern.
I've done VHS conversions before, not on commercial tapes, and never had this result.
Is there some sort of DRM for VHS??
