Why does my VHS recorder jump when it records?

My VHS is fine playing pre-recorded tapes.

When I record, though, the subsequent recording often has (a) infrequent distorted sound, (b) increasingly frequent little 'drop-outs', when it skips a second or so of material, then (c) it stops recording all together, and the tape stops. Pressing "record" again only works for 15 minutes, then it stops again. And the recording is awful.

Any ideas?

many thanks for your time!
