I have this problem with one of my cams (Sony Hi8).

If the source device is a bit weak the G200's input amps can't bring it up to snuff and the image will go to B&W when you go to play it. The desktop image is also affected, but only at playback.

Go pick up a cheap video preamp and attach it to your input line. Back when I was using the G200 a lot I got one in the US at a Radio Shack store for about $20 USD.

Thanks Doc.
But the problem is from computer to TV !
It's the same ?!

[Dr Mordrid]

Yes. The input signal is too weak to be output with color but works on the desktop.
