playback issues after dvcam to mini dv transfer Can't Post
My friend shot my wedding on a Sony DVCam and then transferred his tapes to mini dv so that I could import them to my computer and edit them personally. However, when I try and play these mini dvs on either my Canon GL2 or my friend's Canon GL2 I experience problems.

I first noticed the problems during the bars and tone, where there was some slight digital breakup (artifacts) intermittently running through the colors, there was also no sound, and the stereo display in the corner of my LCD was blinking on and off (as if the tape was skipping forward).

As I mentioned this occurred on both of our GL2s and it occurred regardless of which of the four tapes I attempted to play.

I am anxious to see the footage and to begin editing but don't know how to proceed. Anyone out there know what may be the problem?

Thanks for your time.
