Hi Bruce,
A number of questions for you to give more information please. I'd also like to see a screenshot of your Edit/Video tracks and content.

And the camera is?
Video resolution is?
Video format is?

My Camera is a Sony DCR-HC51E mini Dv type
Capture format is Avi 720x576

Powerdirector build 8.00.2704

My Setup is

Windows 7
Cpu E6750
4 Gig ram
HD 4670 Graphics
Display is a 26inch flat screen TV

I have been told by a friend that i need to deinterlace my video file, is that right? and how would i do that?

cheers

I have installed xp on the same machine and installed powerdirector and for some reason it seems to be fine now, so im guessing that my windows 7 was the problem, although i dont see why

Poor lighting,
Source camera type
Small lens

Basically you've got unsuitable conditions for your video camera to work in.

Sorry, I cant help you with this.
