Hi. I'm tranferring some 8mm Hi8 tapes for a friend & they have a tracking error similar to the tape on this thread -
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/371032-Video8-captured-files-with-large-horizontal-bands
The tapes were recorded at long speed but I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Apart from the video distortion I have noticed the sound cuts in & out or completely dissapears.
Out of 10 tapes this happens on 4 of them. The rest are fine.
I have seen some videos where you dismantle the camcorder & make adjustments & then dismantle again after the adjustments but I think the source camera may be at fault.
He bought over his camera but it was very dirty & could not play anything.
I have attached a screen shot but not a video as it's the same error as on the link above.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

It pretty much seems as if you're trying to play back tapes that were recorded in a misaligned camcorder resulting in poor playback if you're trying to play them back in a normal or correctly aligned camcorder.
The problem is not uncommon. Since I'm currently dealing with the same issue, I just published a post on here, trying to share my findings. Maybe it'll help you too.
