I am an engineer at a small university television station and we use quite a lot of DVCAM equipment (BetaSP, too, but obviously this isn't the place for that). Likewise, I use mini-DV/DVCAM for video production at church and independently. The equipment has been quite sturdy for many years of abuse, but I am now starting to get failures.

Are there any fellow engineers that work on DVCAM equipment that might want to talk shop with problems?

Are there other forums that I should be using for this kind of discussion? Or is there an interest to talk technical?

Your mileage may vary depending on your specific problem, but you've surely come to the right place!
