i have no idea what you are saying and what you are trying to ask? whats 2 view? and whats over write my dv tape? and is there anyway to save what?

If you are saying that there is some overlay thatyou are using with our camera ("Happy Birthday" over the video and such), i'm not sure how to do this. I know that when I transfer to PC, the timestamp is removed (or not transferred?)

If that is the case, you may want to transfer it plain, but then use another program (Windows Movie Maker) to put the titles and such back. It will do a better job than the crappy, blocky text from DV cameras.

ehh wht i mean is....... i rec a video on a dv tape and than i feel that i dun want the video and i reuse my dv tape again to rec the new one....


when i playback the video i saw 2 video (old 1 & new 1) overlap each other

Can you post some frame grabs to show us ?

I find it difficult to believe you could be seeing a double-exposure effect on a DV tape. The data is stored digitally, so if you record over a used a tape, the new data writes over the old. If this was not happening, then data stream would be corrupt and unreadable.

If this is the case, then I would start be getting a new tape, recording on it, rewinding and recording again. If the problem does not happen, throw away the old tape and blame it. If it does happen again, get someone to look at your camera.

I'd still like to see some frames though.

yeah, i agree with the above poster. ive recoreded over video many times, and the only thing that goes wrong is every once in a while, the timecode gets messed up. which is normal when re-recording over footage. what kind of tape are you using?

[shujuan]

I using JCV DV tape..


& here is the image which i had been saying i got 2 image in one video when i overlap (overwrite) a old one with a new recording

One is old video & another is a new recording when i overwrite a old one.. but dont know y i got this video..


but if i rec on a new tape it doesnt happen..this only happen when i overwrite a tape

[sitlet]

its either the tapes you are using, or your recording heads. try using a cleaning cassette recommended by your manufacturer to clean the heads. or try a different brand of tapes

[shujuan]

hmm i will try to use a head cleaner to clean it but i think is the tape problem as i just bought this video cam few day ago
