Since transfer via firewire is a digital copy, you are getting exactly what you recorded. If you do a PTT back to the camera you should see it is identical.
If you are saying it appears darker on your computer monitor, you can’t really go by that. Instead, color/brightness correct when viewing on an external monitor. Computer monitor show things differently. I believe Windows Media Player even has an option somewhere to help adjust for this.
