Hello,

I have a Canon ZR10 which has a notorious problem in failing upon rewinding miniDV tapes. During a recent failure, about 8 inches of a particular tape was actually pulled from the cassette. The tape was not twisted or broken, although it was slightly "wrinkled." I was able to manually wind the tape back into the cassette without incident using a pencil; but fear I may have damanged the tape as the ZR10 will no longer play it.

I'm thinking that if I purchase a rewinder, it will successfully rewind the tape and fix whatever issue the tape is having that my very sensative camcorder will not play. Anyone have any input? The camcorder plays tapes and records fine - only thing that doesn't work is REWINDING a tape, as documented by Canon in numerous instances. If the rewinder method doesn't work - is there anything I can try to get the cassettes back into working condition beside taking them to a recovery lab who will certainly charge a significant service charge.

Thanks in advance!
