Shooting off a computer screen

[r.j.]

Hey everybody,
I have some footage in mpg form that i want to shoot off my computer screen with my super 8 camera. I know that the image quality is going to be crappy. Thats the aesthetic I'm going for with this particular shot. But I don't want there to be a big black line through the bottom of the shot or anything. Does anyone know if you can shoot off a computer screen and have it work? I'm shooting kodachrome at 18 and 24 frames a second ( two shots, one slow mo).
Thanks in advance if anyone has any advice.

I'm not sure about Super 8 but the first and best method when using DV cams to capture footage off a computer monitor is to reset the scanning rate of the monitor to 60 hz. Please note that this is not always possible, some monitors and SVGA adapters will not support 60 hz. However, most will. On Windows computers, right click anywhere on the desktop, and select PROPERTIES. Click on the SETTINGS tab. Now click on the ADVANCED PROPERTIES button in the lower right. Usually, there will be a drop-down list of ?Refresh Rate? selections at the bottom. Select 60 hz, then click OK. Windows NT will ask you to test the rate to be sure it works. Often, you will need to reboot the computer for the new rate to take effect.

After resetting the scan rate, you will find that the rolling black bar is almost entirely gone. At most, you will generally have a narrow darker or brighter bar which moves slowly on the screen. Generally, this is acceptable in many situations and you don?t need to do anything else.

Η γυναίκα μου πήγε με τα παιδιά στο χωριό για το τριήμερο και εγώ έμεινα μόνος. Δεν μου άρεσε να βλέπω σειρές όλη μέρα οπότε άνοιξα το tonyspins.
