Default Strange result when recording over a previously-recorded tape with a Panasonic DV cam

Hi all,

I have a Panasonic DV-30 camera, and recently recorded over an old recording
I'd made, since I didn't want what was already on the tape. Previously I've
only used blank tapes, so perhaps that explains the result I've
encountered...

Basically, on reviewing the recording I see the OLD content of the tape with
the new content laid over the top - but interlaced horizontally with about
80 pixels per recording, alternating, as follows...

OLDOLDOLDOLDOLDOLD
NEWNEWNEWNEWNEW
OLDOLDOLDOLDOLDOLD
NEWNEWNEWNEWNEW
OLDOLDOLDOLDOLDOLD
NEWNEWNEWNEWNEW
OLDOLDOLDOLDOLDOLD
NEWNEWNEWNEWNEW

Has anyone seen this before ? I'd love to be able to recover the video I've
recorded, but at the very least I'd like an explanation so that I don't do
it again...

Thanks,

Peter

Looks like you have a partial head clog or failure. A head cleaning tape
will probably fix it. If not it may need the head replaced. There's no way
of recovering your recording unfortunately.
