Something has gone awfully wrong…
Why does my image look like this?

infact they all seem to look like this; on the LCD on the camera and on my screen when I try to log and capture. Do I have a corrupted tape?

probably, or it could be the camera needs cleaning. can you borrow another dv deck or camera?

That’s what I’ll try and do.
When I import into imovie I get a clean image but it flickers all over the play… -
Try just shutting everything completely down and restarting. I’ve seen that before and it’s usually just hardware that’s all confused for some reason. Does the image look like that straight from the deck to the monitor? If so, it’s your deck. If it only looks like that coming through FCP/computer then obviously it’s a firewire thing and rebooting should do the trick.

It looks like that on the deck aswell.
I’ll try another camera. Do DVcams record in different formats ? If so would they not be able to play some formats? -
Run a head cleaning tape through there for a few secondds. Try playing the tape on different decks. Try different tapes in that deck. You’ll figure out where the issue lies pretty quick.

Thanks. I will do.

Looks similar to a standards issue; as in playing NTSC on a PAL VTR or vice-versa.
Are you playing back the material on the same device/camera that it was recorded on?
If not, explain the origin of the source material.
