David, I'll try the droout trick. Yesterday we shot a personal ducomentary of the record snowfall here in Louisville. Came home that night to view the tape and it was nothing but dropout city. The shots were recorded on a CCD-F40 8mm Sony camcorder but this time, for some reason I used my production Hi-8 tape. Two things I think caused the dropouts, 1). using camcorder in -40 weather, 2). heads need to be cleaned or could it be using Hi-8 tape (don't know why I used this, ((by mistake)) ). Scratching my frozen head. Burning the Midnight Toast Patrick White
