A few things come to mind. Are you dv heads dirty? Did this show while shooting or only in post? If it showed while shooting your heads are not the culprit

Did you have gain or auto iris on? It almost looks like the cam is trying to compensate for something but not getting it right.

How about image stabilizer. (the button with the little hand) This can cause problems with fast paced shots.

I have never seen this as a result of dirty tape heads, though I am sure it's entirely possible. Who knows... it could be a sensor issue. How many hours are on the camera? Check by going to MENU > OTHER FUNCTIONS and then scroll to the very last one which is on the second part of that menu.

yeah it shows up while shooting, the camera has 399 hours on it

well that rules out heads...probably gonna need to send it off for repair if not still in warranty

sorry for the late reply but, can you give me an estimate on how much you would think it should cost

there are alot of possibilities. It could be stabilizers, iris controls, bad ccd....your gonna need someone to open it up and quote you since its impossible to quote without knowing the problem. Generally to get anything repaired it cost 300+ for labor.
