    Good afternoon.

    I am purchased a Sony DCR-TRV510E Digital8 Camera the other day and I am having an issue that I do not know why it occurs. While I can play the 8mm and HI8 tapes without an issue, the Digital8 tapes I have tried they all seem to have a strange effect during the playback. I have tried 5 tapes and all do the same.

    The first video I have attached on this post contains the Digital8 issue I am currently having. The second video shows a HI8 tape playing correctly.

    I do know if anybody has ever encountered an issue like this.

    If anybody has a clue why this is happening I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you.

    Those are most likely tape dropouts, either the digital tapes didn't age well or they were recorded on a misaligned camcorder, What you can do is try to clean the heads in case the tapes are bad, I believe ME cassettes have the problem of magnetic layer flaking off.

    Maybe a PAL vs NTSC problem?
