Hi Tim,

I have a whole batch of bad tapes.

I scroll through the alleged TC break frame by frame and there is no TC break, yet the machine recognises it as one.

Totally frustrating.

I thought it may have been a problem with the Sony Z1, but I now I see that it is also happening with the HD100. I’ve been told that TC for HDV is very sensitive, but I don’t quite understand how they arrived at this conclusion.

Hi,

I have the same problem as you.

I’m using a Sony HVR-Z1P and editing on FCP 5.1.4

I have numberous TC breaks during continuous shots that it is not amusing at all. Very frustrating because there can be 35 breaks in a single tape.

The problem is that this doesn’t happen on every tape I use, but lately it has been happening on MOST tapes I have.

I currently have 80 or more tapes in stock, and I’m just afraid to use them because of this issue.

I’ve tried everything you tried but I’m still getting the problems, so I wonder if anyone has an answer.
