It does look a bit scary but stick to looking through the program settings (the hammer and screwdriver icon) for the video capture settings. That is where you set up the destination folder for your avi and the naming conventions.
Then check out the Video Source (exposure) (camera icon) for you exposure, gain and frame rate. Untick any check boxes for auto control. (If you have tracking then you can leave the autowhite balance set for the time being) Set your brightness to the middle, your frame rate to around 10fps (good for average nights) your gain to around 30%-40% and then drop your exposure rate until you get a nice even illumination. If it a bit burnt out in areas, drop your gain and reduce your exposure (eg go from 1/500 to 1/250) and then try adjusting your gain again.
See how you go from there.
