recording without tape
Its been 5 years my xlh1 sat in mothballs. I got it out and the tape mechanism is not working properly it seems.
runs a second or two and stalls, runs ok then when I try to download it stalls every second or two I tried it in SD and run it in my xl2 and it does the same thing, so it definitely is a tape/ recording issue. Canon will not repair it I was told, to old Apparently. is there a reasonable way to record from the camera bypassing the tape? I looked at b and h and todays digital recorders are all hdmi. Any help appreciated.

Re: recording without tape
I used to run my two HDV Canon cameras, an XH-A1 and an XH-A1S without tape all the time the last two or three years I was using them. The compact flash recorders I used on both were the DataVideo DN-60. It did become hard to find proper CF cards for the recorders at the end. Check the DataVideo website...

Re: recording without tape
Dale does the XLH1 have an sdi output? There are some external recorders with sdi but I don't have any experience with them.

Re: recording without tape
In the past I used a Focus Firestore recorder, your camera needs a firewire out. You could pick one up for $200-$400 on ebay

Re: recording without tape
+1 for the firestorm. I've still got one for an old JVC and it solves the problem quite nicely.

I was able to eventually repair my FireStore by replacing the hard drive. (I actually found an IDE SSD that not only has higher capacity, but uses less juice and has almost zero chance of overheating). I still used the Shogun because my XHA1 has the tiny firewire port instead of the thicker one from the revised version. |

Re: recording without tape
Make sure that your 4pin to 8pin FireWire cable is plugged into the right port on the FS-C. (One is labeled Computer I/O and is for hooking to your PC, one is labeled DV and is for your camera).
