Re: miniDV LP Mode Problems

I'd love to be able to ask every client who brings in a tape recorded in LP mode to also bring the camera it was shot on, but often times they don't have the camera anymore, a friend shot it, etc. I can't tell them not to shoot in LP mode ahead of time because they don't come to us until they need to transfer the footage to DVD, so we don't get the luxury of speaking to them before they shoot. These aren't professional clients, mostly people shooting weddings and other family events.

Like I said, this is a small part of our business, but it still annoys customers when we claim to be professional but we can't even play back their tapes.
