Hi everyone!, I hope someone can help.
I have the Optura300A digital video camcorder, which I haven't used in years. I want to record all the videos I took years ago onto my imac 2017, 27 in. Retin 5K computer, macOS Ventura 13.7.2. My DV recorder is not playing back my cassette videos. I think that my BP-422 battery is exhausted after all these years. I bought this camera 5/25/04. So I took the battery pack off the camera and have the power cord plugged in. When I turn the camera on, put it in play mode and open the LCD screen, the blue screen appears with the small pic of a cassette in the middle, STEREO1 in the upper left corner, SP STOP with 61min next to another small cassette picture underneath in the upper right corner. When I press play the screen goes black, then comes back on saying CANON, the set the time and date, then goes back to the original blue screen. The tape is rewinded and I have tried other tapes, but the same thing happens. Can someone tell me why my camera will not playback? I do not want to lose years of videos. Would be so sad. Thank you!! Melissa
