The bars may be the answer to the problem. The tape that came in correctly did not have bars. And yes, we are digitizing the entire tape. All of the tapes say 30. Can we pull out the duplicate frames with cinema tools or do I need to redig?

UBR 22 92 30 56 R 10

The first two numbers change as the tape is played. 30 stays constant.

If they’re both 30, why the difference?

Thanks so much for your help.

it says:

UBR 99 99 30 56 R 16

This is a tape I just digitized which went in to the system at 59.94.

No kona card. I am coming in over firewire.

I’m having the same problem, but I still have the deck, so I can change the setting. How do I turn on User Bits? Is there any other setting I should change? I have the manual for the deck, but the section which addresses user bits seems to refer to recording, not playback.

Thanks, but unfortunately that’s not the correct answer. After some deductive investigation last night, here’s where we are: Audio channels 1-4 and 5-8 are duplicates, so we could eliminate 5-8 using the method you describe above. However, the waveforms are all different on tracks 1-4, and eliminating 3 & 4 results in a loss of information. (For instance, the -12 db tone at the beginning of the tape is at -18 db without tracks 3 & 4.) This may be adjustable by a setting on the Panasonic AJ-HD1400 deck, but we have not been able to decipher the incredibly arcane manual or find any technical support over the weekend. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
