Re: Playback help: Mini-DV Camcorder will not recognize previously recorded video on tapes until some new video has been recorded somewhere on the tape



magicalsavant wrote ...
I have a Panasonic PV-GS35 Mini-DV camcorder that is exhibiting some
very strange behavior. I have several tapes with video on them, but
when I go to play them back on the GS35, the video will not play. The
unit will not even recognize that there are time codes on the tapes.
However, if I record a little video anywhere on one of these tapes with
the GS35, then re-enter playback mode, all video on the tape plays back
fine.. If I eject the tape and put it back in, however, the video
again refuses to play until I have recorded at least some video again.
What would cause this behavior, and what can I do to remedy the
situation?

Your camcorder is broken. Try to find a competent repair shop and
have them fix it.
