Thanks for the reply. The tapes are brand new and have only been striped with black. The problem clears itself at around the 3 minute mark on each tape I've tried. It doesn't have a problem if I roll the tape in and started recording at 10 minutes, say. I'll check out cleaning the heads. Camcorder would have been on for a good amt of time before shooting - setting up shots etc.
