holi **** tape jacked up

[booggerg]

So I was playing back my raw footage from a shoot on a crappy JVC cam, and had it on rev until it reached the beginning. It got a tape jam error. I poped open the door and bunch of tape reel was hanging out. I manually rewound the reel back into its spool. But did I do real damage to the material? Is this common?

thanks... but what causes this sort of mishap? is it player dependent? I'm scared to play my other tape in this JVC now.

The mechanics of your tape or the JVC cam are probably to blame. Have you noticed it noisier than usual? Take a blank tape and try a few plays and rewinds with it to see if you can reproduce the problem. Also, listen for any abnormal noises. For example, the tape drive vibrating too much or grinding.
