Hello, it is me again. I was playing some MiniDV tapes on my Panasonic tv when the tapes started to gain artifacts. It would play but there would be a glitch where the tape had a frame that would be stuck for a few seconds. I used s-video. What should I do? The camcorder is the Canon GL2 NTSC. Edit: This was the issue until I turned of the tv, the tape started to play normally again. I turned the tv back on and the thing started to show artifacts again. Help please.

Could be that the camera's output for analog video is messing up. It most likely has a DAC of some sort that's messing up the picture.

Actually, I'm not completely sure what's going on here. Would you be able to test it out on another TV?
