In fact, I believe the manual for my TRV900 explicitly stated that LP
tapes would probably only play in the camera that recorded them. I was
lucky that the one time an editing client brought me LP tapes the
camera actually played them, because no other deck we tried could do
so: and, even then, there were a number of shots that were unusable
because of audio or video dropouts.

At least they didn't shoot on LP, the guy who copied their full-size
DVCAM tapes to Mini-DV did it in LP mode for some reason.
