Hi
A friend gave me some footage on mini DV which I tried to digitise in using my camera -- but the footage wouln't play properly -- it instead broke into horizontal bands half playing in real time and half a few seconds out of sync + the sound dropped out.
I assumed it was the tape -- but now when I've gone to another tape that I know is OK, it's having the same problem.
Is there any chance at all that this is just dirty heads, or do you think I'm looking at something more complicated?
