did we really need a tutorial on how to put a tape in a camera that you've already been using? thanks for wasting 2 minutes of my life!

[SatellaNNW]

I have the same problem. blue or black horizontal lines. I did the process to clean with the DVC cleaener but didnt work. Any suggestion? Thanks!

@SatellaNNW Cleaning it the real way by cleaning the heads on the cilinder: I recently had a DVCAM recorder with more than 1100 drum hours here for cleaning... It probably never saw a cleaning cassette in all those 1100 hours, so when cleaning the head-cilinder with a shammy with some alcohol on it, you could actually see the dirt on the shammy...

Dies it have to be the same brand or does it not matter

[weeardguy]

@josephvanni Some people say yes, some people will say no: I will say no: cleaning cassettes are so basic in their operation that you really don't need a JVC cassette if you have JVC camera and so on...

should i clean it if the frame rate is choppy when i record? thanks

Hey Bobby we need more videos from you. I enjoy watching your tutorials. Keep it up man.

[videochemist]

this wasn't helpful. 'cleaning tapes' only wear down the head. i want a tutorial on how to remove oxide deposits.
