Okay guys so here is the problem.
My GL2 displays bars when I am playing back a tape or after I record. Definately a head issue. I have only been using Panasonic Master Tapes until one day my teacher needed a VTR and used my camera after school. He stuck in a different tape (obviously not the ones I use). The thing is I am not sure if this could cause such a problem, but its the only reason I have right now. My Canon 1 year warranty is now over however I still have a Mack warranty. I have heard many dreaded stories of sending equipment to Mack (I did not know this purchasing this extended warranty from Zotz Digital 2 years ago). Am I better off of trying to buy Canon cleaning tape or sending it to Mack? Also when I record, I played it back on an external Panasonic VTR and not only do I see bars capturing in FCP but also really messed up audio. Any tips?
Thanks guys.
