It *could* be that the tape has had the "don't-record-over-accidentally" button flipped? Sorry for non-technical term but I'm a girl (say no more!), but this happens with our camcorder - would have thought that your tapes are new, but you never know if it's switched that way when it leaves the factory. Examnie the tape and see if there is anything that could switch up/down on/off - this is the magic button thingy I am talking about - tends to be on the side of the tape itself.

Worth a shot though!

Happy holidays, - hopefully with a camcorder!
