Any tips on how to fix this? (filming video games)

[Arteest]

Anyone know how to get rid of the annoying scrolling black bars on the screen?

I already tried messing with the zoom, contrast, etc.  I can see the bars as I'm filming so its something with my camera or tv, not the computer.

Anything I can do besides buying a better camera?

sorry no. buy a better camera is your only option. i believe its to do with the frame rate of the tv and the camera or something. im not 100% though, you could do some more research into it.

to film ur video games there are programmes that will film it straight off the computer without needing a camera in the first place

i think that only works with computer games daniel, not filming tv games.

Nah this is mario kart on wii, so the only thing is a vid cam. I think that happens no matter how good the camera is, summin to do with the static or electricity why it does that,  not the quality of the cam I think. Maybe if you put the cam further away and zoom in? Dunno if that will work.

But that was very good by the way anyway, you're no noob.

that happens becuase of electic waves i learned that last week its the same when you leave your phone next to the pc screen if you are about to receive a call or get a text it goes weird.

well i can film my melee/brawl vids with no lines with my cam... so i assumed it was cam fps rate or quality.
