Canon HDV tape and Sony Decks
Posted: Wed Dec 11, 2019 3:47 pm
In the past I used a Canon XH A1 HDV camera with excellent results and have many tapes produced by that camera. The camera was long ago traded in and now I have those A1 tapes stored until a recent request to make .mp4 and BluRay discs from some of them. I have a Sony DSR1800 DV/HDV deck; however the A1 tapes will not play in it although it accepts tapes from the past shot on other cameras. I no longer have a Canon HDV camera; however a friend has and we find that the A1 tapes will play in his camera so with luck I can recover the past programs. Obviously when I was shooting with the Canon I used the camera as the source deck for transfers to the computer. I am intrigued; is this a known incompatability of Canon recorded HDV tapes with Sony player/recorders?
