Samsung SC-D67 Mini DV Digital Camcorder Questions & Answers
Mini DV tapes getting distorted on playback
It sounds to me that the damage was created prior to you attempting to capture the video.
There are several ways to help prevent these issues.As a rule I would suggest only to use miniDV cassettes to record only once, as they are prone to errors such as you describe.
Also, keep the tape heads clean and inline. tape heads have a limited mileage and need to be replaced after a while.
We all become victim to the mosaic problems you describe, and it can be repaired on the computer, although it is a painstaking manual process.
If you have footage that is damaged in this way and you really feel you need it repaired, please contact me, I will be happy to offer my services.
More details on mini DV distortion problem
It sounds to me that your tape heads are possibly dirty beyond the scope of a head cleaner. ie, grease or large particles/crumbs. This will explain the apparent spread of destruction.
I can provide you with a facility to upload your video to a private server. I can download it from there, and deal with it.
I charge $100 per 5 mins of damaged footage. It may sound a lot but it is a frame by frame restoration. no fix, no fee.
My usual field is the restoration of 35mm archive for digital/DVD remastering. But this is my hobby as much as my carreer, so I am always happy to help the little people! ;)

To transfer the recordings from your Samsung SC D353 Mini DV tape to your computer, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Connect the camcorder to your computer: Use a FireWire (also called IEEE 1394) cable to connect your Samsung SC D353 Mini DV camcorder to your computer. Most computers have a FireWire port, but if yours doesn't, you can purchase a FireWire adapter card.
2. Turn on the camcorder: Turn on your Samsung camcorder and set it to VCR mode.
3. Open the video capture software: On your computer, open the video capture software that came with your operating system (e.g. Windows Movie Maker, iMovie on Mac) or a third-party video capture software (e.g. Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro) that supports Mini DV tape.
4. Start recording: In the video capture software, select the option to capture video from a DV device. Click the Record button in the software and then press Play on the camcorder to begin playing the Mini DV tape. The video should be captured and recorded onto your computer.
5. Save the video: Once the video has been captured, you can edit it if necessary and then save it to your computer in the desired format.

Samsung SC-D353 foggy lens - what can I do?
If the lens on your Samsung SC-D353 camcorder is foggy, there are a few steps you can try to clear it:
- Clean the lens using a lens cleaning solution and a soft, lint-free cloth. Be sure to gently wipe the lens in a circular motion, taking care not to scratch it.
- If the foggy appearance persists, there may be moisture inside the camcorder. You can try using a hair dryer or a can of compressed air to blow out any moisture that may be trapped inside the camcorder.
- If the foggy appearance is still present after trying these steps, there may be an issue with the lens itself. In this case, you may need to have the camcorder serviced by a professional.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions or if you are having trouble clearing the foggy lens on your camcorder, don't hesitate to ask.
