Deck says tape is DV when shot in HDV
I’ve had this problem now with 2 different cameras that shot footage in HDV, when I play the tapes in my deck (Sony HVR-M35U) the deck only recognizes a DV signal. If a camera was turned off, then turned back on to shoot on the same tape, that new footage is recognized as HDV. Both cameras are HDV (Sony Z1, and a Sony Handheld) and after double checking the settings, they are in HDV mode. Not every tape has done this, but this has been an ongoing problem. I’ve imported plenty of tapes in the past with a HDV signal from these cameras and this deck, but once in awhile the signal says its DV and it only plays in DV. Any ideas? or information into what other forum I should post under? Thank you…..

do you have the m35 manually set to HDV and not Auto?
it plays HDV as DV and outputs as DV? that is odd.
might be something wrong with the deck.

Yeah that deck is manually set to HDV and says the signal is not recognized, so I changed it to DV and it plays fine. All the tapes are shot as HDV and most of the time the deck plays them fine as HDV. but once in awhile I get a tape that is recognized only as DV on the deck, and it was shot as HDV

if the tapes that play only as DV are consistently playing
only as DV then they have to be DV.I’ve had camera people mess that up before. shooting DV
when it was supposed to be HDV then telling me they shot it in HDV.The tapes don’t lie in my experience…
