If so we need to know so we can alter our transfer method. There are known playback issues with footage recorded on non-Canon equipment when played back on some Canon devices. This is because Canon, presumably in order to be competitively priced, opted to use a non-standard proprietary MiniDV decoder and therefore can have issues when playing back footage recorded on other brand equipment. We have mainly seen this issue with the Canon GL1 and XL1 cameras, but the issue has been known to occur with other canon equipment as well. If you will be using canon equipment at all please let us know. We do have canon-compatible equipment, but it is not the equipment we use by default. So if we are warned in advance we can record to canon-compatible equipment.
