Can I Play Both In My Panasonic Pv Gs 320 Camcorder?mini Dv Tape And Super Mini Dv Tape,?

October 25th, 2009 pkinvest

I have a new Panasonic 3ccd mini dv camcorder PV GS 320 camcorder. I placed a mini DV tape that has some film my friend shot on his camera, (a sony).
I can’t view the content as when I play it it says wrong format on the screen.
Is there a way around this or is the tape just not compatible with the Panasonic although its a mini DV and it fits in well and plays?
Thanks

   Agree with iridflare – you have not provided enough information regarding the Sony source video camcorder and format.
   MiniDV tape is miniDV tape, which is why the physical tape fits… but DV (4:3), DV widescreen, SP/LP and DV/HDV modes can all be recorded to miniDV tape depending on the camcorder settings. In the case of Sony, it is also possible that the tape is carrying SDCAM/HDCAM format which a Panasonic camcorder cannot understand… or even Sony’s “Cineframe” mode (digitally derived 24p mode)…

   A MiniDV tape should play in any MiniDV camcorder. Was the tape recorded in LP mode? LP mode isn’t part of the MiniDV standard, so you can’t guarantee being able to interchange tapes recorded like that.
   I’ve never heard of “Super mini DV” – sorry. Is your friend shooting in HDV? That uses the same tape (albeit made to a higher standard), but the format’s different.
