I know there have been a few dozen "baking" answers. So I would like to 
also suggest that if you haven't done so already, make sure the rollers 
and the rest of the tape path is clean. If any of the rollers are rubber 
make sure it's not the roller that is sticky! Some of the rubber used in 
the different rollers has been known to break down and get very sticky 
(will turn into pure goo eventually) when it does. I would tend to think 
it the tape can make it over the video drum it's it's doing pretty good. 
If it then hangs somewhere else in the path look there for troubles.
