MikeC:Howard, how old is the tape? Has it been used a lot? Is the bad footage say 5 minutes from the begining of the tape? Is the tape a "name" brand or off brand?
I only use new tapes... I save everything.
It's a Maxell DVM60SE tape.
This footage is about 35 minutes in...
Thanks for thinking about this problem MikeC... I appreciate the input.
