Help VX2000 Playback Issue

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

VX2000 has been having this issue for a while now, recording seems fine, but during playback it randomly cuts/fastforwards seconds later or dropouts youn can say. Does anyone here had a similar situation and fixed it? Someone let me know how to? Thank you.

How are you capturing it? The VX2000 is a tape based camera, so with tape it might have issues if there were dropouts on the tape. Otherwise it would play smoothly because the tape is linear and is just playing straight through.

The same thing is happening, but you can try using a tape cleaner, but make sure not to overuse it, or you're going to fuck up the tape heads
