i got a canon camcorder from my cousin.. i filmed some shit at a party the other night, i go out and buy the 35 dollar dv cable, rewind the tape all the way to capture it on my laptop.. and now it says EJECT THE TAPE on the screen in red letters and a high pitched beeeeep beeeeeep beeeeep sound whenever i put the tape in the camera.

any ideas? havent asked my cousin yet, hes at school
