And this video Phil from Got Memories shows the very common and systemic problems with mini DV camcorder videotapes that are becoming more more problematic as the years roll on, and how to rectify and restore the picture and audio from these tapes, which will require head cleaners I propyl, shammy cloths, shammy tips, tiny screwdrivers, and a whole boatload of patience. If you have sent your mini DV cam tapes off to a transfer company and they have been returned with Shop audio choppy picture, pixelation of images and all bars across the screen it is more than likely come from contaminated video heads, and the operator or employee at one of these video companies, not paying attention, not reviewing the files, not cleaning their heads, and generally no clue what they’re doing. This is why you need to hunt down a transfer company that cares and has an owner operator that monitors and fixes all of the extremely problematic videotapes to ensure clear picture and audio throughout the entire file. if you think this is going to be a cheap, it can be if you have a small amount of tapes, but if you have a large collection be prepared to pay what you paid for the camcorder and more.
