how to recover an erased video tape?

[wyatt12]

Hi,

I have a video tape that has had its original contents recorded over once with blank static. I want to get the original contents of the tape. Is this possible? Supposidely the FBI has this technology, does the rest of the world?

Regards,

Sam

Go to the FBI and ask.

I am afraid magnetic tape recovery is pretty difficult specially if you left it out by some magnetic source like speakers...

Even when recordedn over with another program or just nothing a recovery to its full glory is very very difficult and expensive...

Specialized equipment used in TV station can help as well but not to the quality you had B4... Nothing will ever do that...
