I have a Panasonic PV-GS14. I recorded on the tape in the machine (I think I did, because when I pressed record it said I was recording) but when I try to rewind or fast forward the tape is stuck. It won't rewind or fast forward. I've now taken the tape out of the camera and, sure enough, I can't get the tape to roll either direction. What now? At first the problem was that the camera kept continually asking me to press the 'reset' button. How do I get my tapes unstuck?

You cannot move the spindles/cogs in a mini dv tape without pressing down a small lever on the rear of the cassette.
the lever is in the lower right, move the lever, then move the ribbon protector to the open position, then spin the cogs, the tape should be free.
if not, then you have a jamm inside the cassette, you can open these casettes by removing 4 small screws. ( this is a very fiddly job & you may ruin the casette, if you dont know how )
SOURCE: Help it's going to fast
Your camera has a capstan servo problem which is more than likely being caused by the capstan motor itself.Nothing you can do youself,would suggest bring to service but reccomend getting estimate before repairing.
SOURCE: Can't tell if tape is recorded.
Well thanks that you found out. i was going to tell you to do exactly what you did because the timecode rreads where it is tapes and does not where it's not.
