Panasonic DMR ES20 camcorder recording problem.

[emilos]

Hi to everyone, my first posting here. I just bought Panasonic DMR ES20 recorder to transfer my camcorder video to DVD. I like very much the picture this recorder provide, but I do have problem with transfer. When I do recording , after while you can see how video on Tv screen start to be snowy and jittery and minute latter screen turn blue but sound goes little longer. Is very hard to say when this will start, but I think will start anytime after 10 minutes of recording. I try to record through DV input, switched to S Video, but problem stayed. I try different DVD R's, cables but no luck. Is a recorder bad or just same recorder have problem with signal from camcorders ? I thought first that maybe camera is on fault, but I don't have any problem to record video from this camera to computer. This recorder don't have any problem to record from TV. Any idea, before I rush to return this recorder or exchange it ?

Hi emilos,

Welcome to the forums.

If it were me, and I'd tried what you've already tried, I'd return it - maybe even demonstrate the problem in the shop.

They may let you try recording on a different machine.

Good luck.
