In Reply to: video camera tapes posted by craftychic on Wednesday, 25. March 2009 at 19:55 Bali Time:
I probably have the same problem. I have some tapes from a superseded Canon. The Canon cannot be repaired, but fortunately I have most of them on large VCR tapes that I transferred to DVD. I do not think you can recover the data using anything other than the make of camera they were created on. I have read somewhere of companies that recover information from old VCR tapes. Perhaps enquiries on the internet may be the way to go, but I doubt anyone in Bali can give you satisfaction with your problem.
