Mini DV tape playback issue

[jlegrand]

Hi,

Yesterday I shot a lot of footage on a mini DV tape (60 min worth) with my Canon XHA1 camera. Last night I reviewed over all the footage played back through my camera. Well this morning I took the tape out because I had to capture another tape. After I captured the second tape, I popped back in the first tape, and it would not play at all. It doesn't pick up any timecode at all, it just plays blue screen, as if it were blank. I tried playing other tapes, and every single one of them is fine besides this tape. I also ran a head cleaner after the problem but it didn't fix it. I haven't tried playing the broken tape on any other cameras due to the fact I do not have access to another camera that will play hd 24p footage. Anyone have any suggestions to what this might be?

try a brand new tape record some 24f and then play it back. switch to the broken tape and try to play it. cam might not be going into 24f mode. if it still won't play try - ff stop play - a couple times.

I tried that multiple times, but it didn't work. Thanks though
