Video Heads..	Can't Post

Ok, I did a wedding a while back and when I came back my heads had been knocked out of place on my camera (thanks Delta!) so I couldn't play the footage from the wedding without destortion... so I sent it to Canon (btw, it's an XL1) and had them fix the heads but the problem is, I still can't play the footage because the heads were unaligned when I shot the wedding (it was a progressing problem I guess...) so now I can't play the footage on my camera, or on a Sony Deck or any of my friends MiniDV cams... is there any place I can take the tapes and have played on a deck that can manipulate it's heads or anything? Or is there no hope? I'd really like to edit the wedding and all... it was only for a friend so it's not like I'll lose my job or anything but it is their WEDDING! I'm located in Orlando, FL and would hope the place is in Florida, or if anybody knows what the name of a place like that is called that'd help too... thanks...

Thanks again...

Re: Video Heads..	Can't Post

Wow, sounds like you may be screwed. The only thing that I can think of is to contact a high-end duplication house and find out if they can make you a clean copy of the footage. I am guessing that you have digital artifacts that are causing you problems. They may be almost impossible to fix. Going through a high-end TBC may be able to fix the problem. You may want to also contact Canon and find out what kind of alignment they did. I doubt if they would do this, but maybe if you have or bought a cheap Canon dv camera, they could duplicate your original alignment problem. Again, I doubt they would do anything like that. I think a high-end duplication or post house is your best choice.
Good luck.
