Yes, I am going to add more light. Currently, I am using an automobile brake light with an IR filter over the light. I can place more lights for each of the cameras. I am also going to try simply removing the IR filter and just using the red lens of the brake light and see what that does. I am not sure if the animals will notice the red light any more than the IR light, but I am thinking that the red light without the IR filter will emmit more light which the camcorder will recorder better.

I have put up a 20second clip of the IR video. There is a raccoon in the middle of the two trees cleaning itself. Does anyone have any ideas for how I can make this any better? I did apply the color curve to this video to enhance the contrast, but it is basically the raw video directly from my digital camcorder.

Can someone suggest the best tool/filter or combination of tools in Vegas that I can use to help improve the IR video I am capturing? I have messed around with several, but it never does much to bring up anything. I realize that if the inforation is not there, nothing can be done to help. But I alawys have a fantasy that there will be some cool plug-in or something that will improve my noisy, poor quality IR video.

Thanks for the advice. I will consider what you have said. It seems to be a bit more than just a monitor issue. When I render the video out to DVD, and play it on my TV, it never looks as bright as it did when I ran the analog video directly from the Sony camera into my TV. And it seems odd that its only the video I see in the capture screen and render from Vegas where the problem is. All my other video looks fine when I view on my monitor. The same goes for photos. Everything I ever view on my computer monitor looks fine except for these low light video clips I transfer from my camcorder. I dont understand how if my monitor is the problem, why it does not show up for other video I view. I will try the calibration test to see if I can see what the image really contains for light and dark.
