  • Trying to dump to tape!

    Posted by Carolina Cid on June 12, 2007 at 2:07 pm

    Hi…
    I am trying to dump back to tape in FCP onto a brand new betcam sp tape. Everytime I try to print to video or edit to tape..I get this message:
    “Unable to perform edit operation. The tape appears to be write protected.”
    I have tried using other tapes (they are all brand new) and it still says the same thing…what I am doing wrong?
    PLEASE HELP!
    Thanks…

    There is a switch on the VCR as well as the button on the bottom of the cassette.

    The button on the tape is not pushed in. It is a brand new tape. I am using a DVW-M2000P Sony Digital Betacam VTR…what sort of switch on the deck are you talking about?

    If the deck is a digibeta deck, you cannot us it to record BetaSP. It will play back beta, but not record to it. It will record to digibeta only.
