Video won't show up on comp monitor

I'm a video editor; I have a Panasonic AG-DV2000. I'm trying to load in footage to my iMac and when I press play on my miniDV deck the nothing plays; the counter just loops around in zeroes like it's not reading anything on the tape. So, to check I played the tape in the camera it was recorded on and it played fine, but when I go back to the deck "no such luck". I thought it might have been a bad tape, so I played something that had played before and now it won't play. In need of help. Please Help

I am having the same problem. I know something is on the tape but the machine is not reading the tape or the timecode. I get the looping icon and a blank white screen on the monitor.

Dirty heads will produce this symptom; also an open "circuit protector" (fuse) on the main board (there are several fuses) will do this - just repaired one this morning.

Check your inputs on that machine. there are settings that you need to do. when you put a tape in the minidv, does it play fine? if it does, you need to check your input setting on that machine..good luck

HVX200 shot footage - viewing footage on consumer grade camera

You can only view hd footage on hd devices. so if you recorded hd footage onto a tape, you will not be able to view it on a standard def camera, ie the dvx100b. The footage should not be harmed. Now if you are trying to view via p2 card over the firewire, whole new scenario.

Help Please!

You have signalling errors that come from, more than likely, a bad ribbon cable linking the mechanism to the CPU. Good luck on this as it is a service headache.

Panasonic AG-DV2000 Mini DV VCR will not play large DV tapes

the "dv sensor"is actually a mechanical lever built into the cassette housing that moves the reel tables to match the reel spacing on mini or full-size DV tapes. check to see if this assembly is free to move. if it binds up, the reel tables may not move as far as they need to, and can cause problems similar to the one you're seeing. to inspect the mechanism, you need to remove the cassette housing. if you don't have a service manual, get a tech to help -- it's a delicate procedure for the inexperienced.
