MY TAPE IS O.K. (^_^).
the only problem i face now is that my filming will not go onto 'final cut pro' only 'Imovie' sir did try many times he even brought in a professional to help but there was no luck so for the mean while i'd have to edit on Imovie which is alot easier anyway. I will do most basic editing on Imovie and then try export it as a movie to final cut for the trickier edits later...
