If your Sony DCR-TRV27 video camera is "eating" tapes, it could be due to a few different issues. Here are some suggestions to help you troubleshoot the problem:

Dirty Heads: The video heads in the camera can become dirty over time, causing the tape to stick and get caught. Try using a cleaning cassette to clean the heads and see if that helps. Make sure to follow the instructions on the cleaning cassette carefully.
Worn or Damaged Tape Mechanism: The tape mechanism in the camera could be worn or damaged, causing the tape to not feed properly. If cleaning the heads doesn't work, it may be best to take the camera to a professional repair technician to diagnose and fix the problem.
Tape Type: Make sure you are using the correct type of tape for the camera. The DCR-TRV27 is designed to use MiniDV tapes, and using the wrong type of tape could cause feeding issues.
Tape Condition: Make sure the tapes you are using are in good condition and not damaged or wrinkled. A damaged tape could get stuck in the mechanism and cause feeding problems.
Battery Condition: Make sure the battery is fully charged, as a low battery can cause the tape to not feed properly.
