I have some tapes of my kids from a few years back when my son was a baby. They were recorded on a Sony Dcr-trv530 camcorder on HI8 tapes.
Recently we had issues with that camcorder as the tape compartment was getting stuck etc. So, in the meantime, we purchased a sony dcr-trv460 camcorder so that I can use the past tapes and edit them in a program in my pc.
But I am having playback issues. The audio (and video) are skipping and the audio sounds as though the tape is in fast forward motion, even though it isn't.
I have put the PB mode in HI8 but it is not working.
Does someone have any suggestions as to what might be going on? Is there a specific setting I am not doing on the trv-460?
Could it be the tapes are not good?
I'd truly hate to lose this video of my kids when they were small.
