I played back some miniDV tapes and found that some portion of the video had disturbance and mosaic type lines. I read it because the tapes may be old. How can this be cleaned or solved?
Also for the VHS tapes, I don't have a player to view them and so don't know if they work good(~25 years old). Is there any maintenance tips or any particular spot in the tape to be cleaned?
Thanks
Hi JaimeCraig,
The problem is that the tapes become magnetized during longer storage. Therefore it is recommended to rewind the tapes once in a while. Unfortunately, the effect cannot be reversed and cleaning is of no use in this case.
Cheers
