I have a samsung camcorder vp-d77i, the problem is that when I am making the video of my desktop at monitor, the grey strip comes continuously moving upwards and downwards.

Also plz... recommend me a good .avi to .wmv,asf converter in which the result comes as the original one but should be compress! Will be waiting for the reply....

Filming a screen is fiddly and often results in bars appearing. This can usually be avioded by manually setting the shutter speed - try different settings. If you cant manually set the shutter speed then try different 'ae' settings.

I am not able to tell you exactly what to do as I am not familiar with your camera, have a look in the manual for guidance.

Unfortunately, the manual is lost as the camera was bought long time ago, I think 4-5 years! but I can tell you that at the end of the camera it has easy and custom button. Can u guide me where 'ae' settings come from? I mean atleast it must have an option to go through. By the way thanx for ur help!!

There is truly no way to film off of a screen and have an absolutly fantastic picture quality.

However, setting your refresh rate to a refresh rate that fits evenly into your TV format's refresh rate may help with the scan line effect, e.g., if filming in PAL, set your monitor to 100 or 50Hz, if filming in NTSC, select 60 or 120Hz.

This helps reduce scan lines as tthe scanning is done in better synchro with your CCD captures

I would suggest that you use a screen capture utility such as camstasia.
