Maybe, it depends upon how sophisticated you video editing program is.
Next time you shoot video, light the scene with enough light. This could be as simple as turning on more lights or adding a 500 watt work light with it aimed toward the ceiling.

Consumer level HD camcorders have 4 problems. 1) Blurry, fuzzy, out of focus areas closely around people in videos taken by consumer level HD camcorders. 2) Any movement, even a wave or lifting an arm, while in front of a recording consumer level HD camcorder, results in screen ghosts and artifacts being left on the video track, following the movement. Makes for bad video, sports videos are unwatchable. 3) These Consumer level HD camcorders all have a habit of the transferred to computer files are something you need to convert, thus losing your HD quality, to work with your editing software. 4) Mandatory maximum record times - 1 hour, 30 minutes, 8 minutes, 3 minutes – four different times advertised as maximum record time for some consumer level HD camcorders. No event I have ever been to is that short. Either take multiple camcorders or pack up with out getting the end of the event on video.
With a MiniDV tape camcorder, record 60 or 90 minutes ( camcorder settings), 90 seconds or less to change a tape and record for 60 or 90 more and repeat till you run out of tapes.
You can get a Canon ZR960 for $ 250. It is a MiniDV tape camcorder, has a Mic jack. You need a firewire (IEEE1394) card ($ 25 to 30) for the computer and a firewire cable (less than 10) to be able to transfer video to your computer. To say this is not HD, think about this. It would cost in excess of $ 3500 to get a HD camcorder that could equal the video Quality of a $ 250 Canon MiniDV tape camcorder.

It is definitely better to get a regular video camera for creating videos. The video mode on digital cameras records the wost quality video. I am a film maker and there is nothing worse than video recorded on a digital camera. If you are looking for ease in uploading video, I would recommend purchasing a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) video camera. These cameras have a built in hard drive and record on to the drive instead of tapes like some cameras. You can purchase these cameras with very large drives which will allow you to record a lot of video. I have included some links to a particular camera that I think you may like. A word of advice, if you choose to purchase a camera, don't purchase it from a regular retail store like Best Buy, Circut City, etc. They are all way over priced and their associates can't tell you everything about the camera. Purchase from a site called B&H Photo. They are much cheaper. Each product is brand new and comes with full warranty. The two links that I have included compare the price for the same camera at B&H Photo and Best Buy. I purchase all of my video equipment from B&H Photo and have been very happy with the service I have received. If you ever have any questions about video, feel free to contact me directly at, noble_mark25@yahoo.com and I will be happy to answer any questions that you have. I also do still photography.
