MiniDV?

Bad tape or tape/transport exposed to high magnetic fields can cause this. Excessive moisture in the machine may cause it although there is a capacitance based humidity sensor that should stop the record/playback and withdrawal the tape from the drum if this is detected.

yeah it's miniDV.

can't think of moisture... might be magnetic field... it was near my LCD monitor but that's all I can recall. it was in my pants pocket/desk the whole time other than that
