I had the same problem on a Sony DCR TRV22. I was able to resolve a stuck tape by switching the camera into memory stick mode (after disconnecting the battery and using the plug-in power source). In memory stick mode I opened the tape compartment and the tape ejected very slowly as if it were sticking or had eaten the tape, however once it successfully ejected found that there was no mechanical or tape issues. I did however notice that that particular tape was set to protection on/rec off - the little lever that is on the tape itself that keeps you from accidentally recording over it.
