pyke 0 #1 March 21, 2006 Have been having problems with gray lines. Only had them recently and they have contributed to MANY recent disasters... Have been told to clean heads, but then was also told that using a head cleaner "scars" your heads (possibly if left on too long, others said "period"). Not sure what is going on, but am looking to avoid problem altogether. Any helpful advice. Might have also been factor of recording in LP mode vs. SP...made that switch already. Just looking for anything to alleviate this problem before season gets too busy. Thanks, Kahurangi e Mahearangi, Kiwi, RB #926, AFF-I, FAA Snr.

Zoter 0 #2 March 21, 2006 Never use DV tapes more than once........never Sometimes its cool no probs......other times....( and usually when you really need that footage you get shafted) I have used tapes once , then recorded footage over them ....even on the same brand of tape....sometimes its fine...other times.....its not.. ...roll the dice Not worth the risk if you value your prospective footage ! Keep on SP rather than LP....always Beyond that.......be sure the type of tape you are using is reputable and that your cam is working OK First I have heard of head cleaners screwing the heads......would like to read more from those who know....

lewmonst 0 #3 March 22, 2006 I recently had a whole box of bad tapes. Thought I was going crazy cause both my cameras had the same problem. Try a new and different box of tapes. peace Karen Lewis aka lewhttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
