Need to get mini DV tape to digital?

I recorded over something important on my mini-DV tape for my camcorder. Can I get it back?

  • I know I couldn't do it personally, I don't have the equipment, but is there a way to get back what was recorded on a mini-DV tape after something else was recorded on it?

  • Answer:

    You cannot get it back. Once you record over a previous recording, it rearranges all the little magnetic bits on the tape to put your new video on there. No possible way to get it back. All I can say is, be more careful when choosing a tape to shoot with. I have owned 3 Canon MiniDV tape camcorders and have never had this problem.

I worked in (real-life) video forensics and have lots of MiniDv experience. "No" is the correct answer. Sorry.

Hollywood tells us these things are easy but unfortunately L L's right - it can't be done.
