Not that it's any consolation
but It's fairly well known that certain JVC DV Decks develop problems with
"dropouts"
and I think it was determined that the problem is fixed with a firmware
update.
Also--- a friend of a friend is a JVC rep up here in NY NJ who recently
advised me that JVC recomends using Panasonic brand tapes (or I assume
JVC) tapes in their DV decks, as the wet Sony lubricant in Sony tapes can
cause dropouts.
I had a big dropout problem with a JVC DV5000 camera when I used Sony 80
min tapes --- which is also apparently a big no no.
I guess you guys weren't rolling Iso tapes as well ?
That really blows man.
We used to carry blown power supply fuses around in our pockets at C-SPAN in
case we didn't "get something" we could always blame the fuse.... Had to
actually use that excuse once...
