Well I don't know if it is my tape as much as my gl2 that recorded (or was supposed to record on it) As I recorded the other day the cam told me to clean my heads like three times within a couple hours...but I didn't. Came home to upload the tape and it is like a digital box of colors and on the side I can see the actual footage...just a very thin strip on the side. I have tried to play the tape in 3 different cams and 1 dv player...all with the same result. Solid dots of color on one side, being able to see only a thin strip of what I recorded on the side...

Is this something fixable? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Nope, sorry it is gone! You do need to clean the heads!

thanks...
but here is the kicker...

at 46minutes....the tape is fine and it was in the same cam.

still no hope?
