Hi,

Last week I shoot some video with my DV camcorder but when I was shhoting, the camera sometimes displayed "Head cleaning required. Use DV head cleaner tape".

Now , I try to capture the video to my computer but I just noticed with horror that the camera don't record the tape when it was displaying the message

Instead of the shoot, it was the old video that was on the tape. Once at home, I tried with another tape I this never has not occured anymore, so I thinks it's the tape which becomes defective.

So, does it exist, but I'm very optimist, a way to capture the video when the error message was displayed. I try to play the video several times and artifacts sometimes appeared or disappeared (occurs onlyy with this tape) ?

Thanks.
