I have only had that problem once and that turned out to be with a defective
tape.
Contact Canon video consumer support by telephone (their phone number is
listed at Canon usa website. See if in conversation you can determine if the
problem is with the camera or the tapes. Then send it only to Canon for repair.
There are simply too many fragile to trust repair to anyone else.
By the way, only use one brand of mini dv tape in your camera. Every tape
manufacturer use a different coating on their tapes. These coatings will always
leave a minute residue on the tape heads. the mixing of residues from
different tape brands can cause tape jams and possibly additinal damage.

When the Gl1 and Xl1 have any kind of moisture, it will kick out the tape. sometimes changes in temp. can cause it also.
