Is there any way to recover footage recorded on digital 8mm video?
I recorded an entire 120 minute tape on a sony DCR-TRV520. I had even
reviewed the footage. Then 5 minutes into the tape it appears to
have been erased. I get a gray screen.

Have you tried playing it back in a different machine ?

You can tell if the data is there by the tape counter. If the counter
stops during play at the point where the video ends-it's gone.

As long as nothing is happening 'mechanically' to the tape path from that
point on the tape, onwards.

The counter continues to run. In fact the audio is still there, but a
gray screen for video.
Now according to you the data is still there but how do I recover it.
Right now I am the only one Iknow witha 8mm video camera. I'm
thinking I can sneak it into BestBuy and play it on one of their
machines.
