Panasonic pv-gs83 tape problem

If you mean just the one and the rest then it was probably recorded in Extended Play mode and nothing can be done.
Otherwise please explain your issues in more detail.

There is a possibility of some damage to the mechanism. You will have too look around for plastic parts that are damaged.

Another possibility is the mode switch is playing up. This tells the electronics what position the mechanism is in. Sometimes a spray of Servisol Video 40 on it will cure it. But if it is worn out, then it won't. You can get them, but to fit it in you will need the service manual, as they are very tricky to set up right. For example they are rarely set up in the eject mode!

Hi, depending on the age, chances r that some components r worn out or the eye sensor needs cleaning or sdjusting.....

There's either damage in the drive section, or more likely and in some cases "plus" the Mode Switch is set in the wrong position or is faulty. The mode switch tells the electronics what position the VCR mechanism is in. Such as play or fast-forward. If in the wrong place it will carry out other functions - such as eject - in your case.

something maybe broken on the inside for it to say play but fast forward. the botton could be stuck as well. maybe open the vcr and clean it all up in side. that might help

Hi, the problem is the tape has got chewed up inside the video the only way your going to get it out is by taking the case of but dont do this whilst its plugged in.

you need to take the tape off and you may have to cut the tape so you can put the case back on and switch it on so the tape will eject, you need to get what ever is keeping it stuck free, the chances are the tape has got chewed up around the drive and this will need cutting free to allow the tape to come out.

let me know if you need further assistance ok

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks.

you could try fast forwarding a bit or rewinding a bit then try ejecting but failing that your going to need to take the case off to free the tape

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 )

Make sure you have no programs running in the background when your rendering. Make sure your hard drive is defragged. That makes a big difference.

it is that your camcorder is a fualt where u got it from return it

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.
