Sorry to hear that. Good try. And good for you on shooting enough coverage. I hope you overcome all issues with the stopped parts. I am buying the xa20 because I can hand hold it. It also has the nice 20X zoom of the xha1, and of course the full 1920×1080 capture.

I wondered if you got the footage off that lousy tape? I hope so. I never use Sony on the XHA1. Only Panasonic AY-HDV. I did get stoppages a couple of times –it was the head not being cleaned. Sometimes footage was audio/video out of sync. Cleaning the head solved the problem. I had to send the camera to Canon in New Jersey to find that out. They told me not to play the faulty tape (the camera head not being clean apparently made it faulty)on the camera otherwise it would screw the sync again. If I recall, I could not get the footage off it properly. But you have a good idea about sending it to a special post-production house that may achieve results by moving the frames faster. I’m trading in for xa20 this week.
