Please help me solve this mystery. I've run out of clues!
The Setup:
I am attempting to make straight dubs from a PVW-2800 Betacam VTR to a Sony DSR-20, using BNC Video cables. I am using new 60 minute DV Tapes to record on the DSR-20.
The Problem:
With both the Betacam and DV cued to the begining of each tape - the 60 minute DV Tape only records 40 minutes of video. I tried another new 60 minute DV tape and got the same 40 minute result.
The Mystery:
Why am I only getting 40 minutes of recording time? The DSR-20 has 3 input selections. Input DV, Input S Video, Input Video. Only Input Video will allow the record feature to work on the DSR-20 and the Video to be seen thru the monitor. What's going on that I am missing?
Thanks,
Jay Mitchell
