Had kind of similar issue last week, no other deck or camcorder would read correctly the tapes... And it was not because it was dirty heads, but probably a problem with the original camcorder that had misaligned heads so I took a cheap Samsung camcorder and used it to de-align manually the 2 screws to finally fit the alignment. Bit of a pain to get it correctly but it worked!
I did a 55 VHS tape gig and then up next were several of these DV tapes and I couldn't do them for her bc I couldn't figure out the issue. I used her original camcorder which she gave me. She ended up sending them to Legacy box. I should ask her how they turned out. The issue I had with them is identical to this. I just happened to be scrolling through my subscriptions and saw this
Yeah if you have the same constant issue with playback on many different camcorders and it’s not just the usual pixels and lines from dirty heads, but a combo of both with colors mixed in the pixels, it’s a defect with the customers camcorder back in the day. Seen it time and again and when you ask the customer to cast their mind back 20-30 years they remember something going on with it, the kids dropping it or they had it at a camcorder repair place in 2003 etc, usually you can pin point where the camera took a crap bc all the times from earlier dates are fine then boom one tape starts and every subsequent tape in the timeline is effed. Usually from dropping it on a hard surface, poss in water.

Nice! Care to make a UA-cam video on it & share?!
I Had the same problem with a Holiday 2005 Family Tape. I Re aligned one of the rollers and it worked!
Good work! 👍

Do you guys also have a service to extract data from vhs using doomsday duplicator project instead of just using the the composite capture method?
