Ditto. Old tapes seem to be related to the problem. All I have to do is put in a new tape, play it, remove it, put the old one back in and it will play normally again. I can't explain why. I know the camera has an automatic tape detection feature and I wonder if it is at fault. Perhaps the camera has trouble detecting older tapes and the brains get scrambled. A new tape resets the detector. It's just a guess.

I believe all Sony model DCR-TRV2XX and 3XX would play Hi 8 and ST8
Such as DCR-TRV265, DCR-TRV285 DCR-TRV340, DCR-TRV355
I hope that give you some ideas

Same problem here with skipping jitters both audio and sound which suggests to me a problem with the tape itself or a slipping drive mechanism. I haven't figured out a way to fix it. At times, the problem goes away and all returns to normal. I am using old tapes and perhaps they get stiff or something. I am still experimenting.
I have the same problem when tring to replay some older (i.e., 5 years old) tapes which I recorded using the same camera. But if I record something now and play it back, I do not have the same issue. Hence, I suspect that it is a tape problem rather than a camera problem. Have you experienced he same thing?
when I playback video, it skips
