Hi,
I’ve just filmed some footage this past weekend and had the exact same problem. The footage is on the MiniDV tape because I can see it on the PC in Premiere Pro when fast forwarding the tape, yet its only blue in playback both on the PC and camcorder itself (it doesn’t show up on the LCD of the camera in fast forward unfortunately but I HAVE seen it! lol)
I can’t capture mine either and have no idea what to do. I’m guessing from reading everyone’s posts it’s a tracking thing.
Did you manage to recover your Italy footage? And if so how did you go about it?
Thanks in advance,
Phil
