Club CDFreaks - Knowledge is Power - View Single Post - Jerky movement on the 4 hour speed? (5005)

gastrof · 31-05-2005

I used the three hour speed on the now upgraded 5005 to record the first three hours (off VHS tapes) of the mini-series "The 4400". Then went on to do the next three hours. (Second "year" begins next Sunday on the USA Network.)

About ten minutes before hour three on the second disc was over...

Yep.

The jerkiness started. I could SEE IT while monitoring the recording.

I wasted three hours and a disc I'd already thermal-printed with the show's logo.

I have the fan, it's just not installed on the shelving yet.

WHY did I start the second disc right away? And why keep recording on a machine I know has heat related video problems?

Gonna go back now and do some spot-checks just to make sure the first disc recorded okay.

We should have a permanent thread here about jerky movements and methods to get rid of the problem.

Hmmm....

Is that what this one is?
