I have a problem recording to my VTR – Sony DVW-A500.

I have a bunch of small spots 30 seconds each, with a 10 second slate.

I have the bars starting at 00:58:30:00 then the slate at 00:58:40:00 then the spot and 2 second beep at 00:58:58:00 01:00:00:00 … but by 5 minutes in, I am noticing my frames are off, my slate in coming in at 42 seconds instead of 40 and by 15 minutes I am noticing a bigger change to maybe 4 seconds … or something like that.

I recorded these spots off a tape, edited them slightly, now are re-recording them in this pattern. Why when I re-record them on to the tape they are adding on frames? The original tape was perfect same layout no frame probs?

I have Final Cut Pro 6.
