Some of you who do media and animation and suchforth might be familiar with mini DV tapes, and I'm in dire need of some help.

We'd been filming today for two hours and got a massive portion of scenes shot and then when we ejected the tape the magnetic tape got caught on the inside roller of the camera and scuffed the tape a bit.

We manage to roll the tape back inside the case and made sure it was tight and stuff, but when we try to upload or play back on the camera we just get a blue screen which you would typically get if the tape was empty.

It's magnetic tape so the data should still be there.

Any help from anyone would be great, thanks.
