there are alot of variables that could be the problem, but here is the situation:VHS-C cassette (comes with standard VHS size adapter for VCR play) worked at owners house 4 days ago. Was taken to the beach and left in a bag the entire time, tape not in direct sunlight, but bag might have been. Also damp towels in bag, but tape was in case and shouldn't have gotten wet. brought it to my VCR to view, picture is fine, but there is no audio, just a consistently loud noise floor. Other VHS tapes work fine, but this one doesn't. I've never played a VHS-C/adapter in my VCR, so I don't know if the mechanism is the problem. Could the audio have been somehow lifted without harming the video (of accidental natural phenomena)?
i'm really gonna miss the sound on this tape...old high school wackiness...
Follow Ups:
It is not possible to erase or damage only audio signal on tape, and leave video untouched, without editing tape in VCR.But there is explanation for your situation.
There are two ways to record audio on VHS-(C) tapes. One by video heads for Hi-Fi mode and one by audio head for mono mode. When you record in Hi-Fi, both tracks are recorded (Hi-Fi and mono). If your camcorder is Hi-Fi and has broken aoudio head it will record in Hi-Fi mode and play back on Hi-Fi VCR with no problems. But will not play sound on mono VCRs.
Now... what is it that you have???
Is the audio living on the HI-FI tracks? Not likely that accidental erasure occured, not if the video is ok. You would have to intentionally remove the audio, by editing, or audio dub.
