I tried to pull in from a mini-dv tape and the video and audio stuttered, as if a few frames were being discarded. Of course the dropped frames read '0'. The video pulled into vegas displayed the same stuttering.
Then I played back the tape on my camcorder and it was playing video smoothly, but the audio was gone. The strange thing was that on the camcorder, the audio mode kept blinking '16bit stereo' instead of the usual solid (not blinking) '16 bit stereo'
A completely different tape worked fine. Sounds like it may be the tape? Anyone have any ideas?

thanks
