Video Camera: Hi8 Sharp Viewcam 'eject' werkt niet meer, cassette zit vast

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 04:49:43 -0700

Er zit een cassette vast in mijn Hi8 Sharp Viewcam (VL-H410) camera. Waarschijnlijk is de cassette zelf niet goed maar de camera wil deze niet uitwerpen. De 'eject' knop werkt niet meer. Is er iemand die weet hoe je het handmatig kunt uitwerpen en hoe/of de camera nog te repareren valt?

Sony Camcorder: Waarom sluit cassettehouder van mijn Sony HDR-HC5E niet meer?

Tue, 24 Mar 2020 10:09:31 -0700

Plotseling sloot de cassettehouder van mijn Sony handycam niet meer, nadat ik er een miniDv cassette erin had geplaatst. Zonder cassette wil het sluiten ook niet meer lukken . Het behoort automatisch te openen en te sluiten. Ik heb de stroom eraf gehaald en opnieuw aangesloten, maar zonder enig succes.

JVC GR-D290U: Tape recording speed is ok, but playback speed is hapering

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 05:54:18 -0700

I have not exactly the same camera but a JVC GR-D340E with has a problem with playback. It seems that the recording speed is oke, but if I view what is recorded than there is a hampering in the tape speed. It plays a bit and with a very short interruption it continues. This repeats itself all the time and with every tape, including old tapes. What is causing the problem and how can this be solved?

Sony Camcorder: No sound on playback - DCR-TRV330

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 08:14:31 -0700

At first the I just had a blue screen when trying to play my tapes. I disassembled the camcorder, reseated the ribbon cables and thoroughly cleaned the heads. I now have a picture but no sounds. I've connected the camcorder to a Mac with an IEEE1394 cable and can see the picture but no sound there either.

Is there a particular cable I should be looking at? Is this still related to something with the heads?

Thanks,

Jack

Flip Ultra HD: Change battery and check connections

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 14:20:43 -0700

I found my flip camcorder from 15 years ago. I plugged it in and it did turn on and showed a picture of a battery in the red. For a brief moment, I was able to get the device to start charging. However, when I came back later to look, it said charging paused check battery connection. I plugged it into my computer to see if I could remove my recordings from it. It can’t retain enough charge in order to bring up the data. Can you help me?

Sony DCR-DVD 108: How do I adjust the laser power on the DVD?

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 08:58:13 -0700

So, my camcorder can on read DVD-R, Not DVD-RW. I had the exact same model a few years ago that wrote the video to those discs, and the discs are fine because they read to my computer. Also, I have checked that the spindle, laser carrige assembly and laser are working. Also, a the CD-R mentionined above worked fine on my computer, but needed cleaning to work on the camcorder, which leads me to beileve that the laser is weak, Also just curious, what is the difference between DVD-108 and DVD 108E. Both of mine are just 108
