Hi, I've never had any issues with HV40 but at the weekend I shot around 40 mins of footage, but when I got home and played back only the first two mins play after which there is no times displayed on the blank blue playback screen. If I fast forward there are various occurrences where there is time info flashes up. When I press play at those intervals nothing is displayed and the time doesn't progress. When I press stop the time updates to account for the elapsed period.
I was messing with cine mode which perhaps wrecked something - I was in HDV mode throughout.
Is there any way I can salvage my footage? Is it likely to be a faulty tape? If I record.aomething at the end of tape it seems to be fine.
The only other thing to add is that I noticed after about 20mins of recording that the "counter" reset to zero and the timing started again. I'm not sure if this was related to doing a "scene review" of the last recording but something odd was definitely going on.
Any info would be great.

I’m watching this…I have the HV-30 (low miles), these are aging and I use mine for transfer.

i'd recommend not changing any camcorder settings while recording. always try to roll-in/roll-out 5 seconds before and after action. tape may be re-usable try recording over from the beginning. when i open a new(old stock now) tape i fast forward to the end and rewind before recording just to loosen it up.
