Does anyone bulk erase MiniDV tapes? if so….
I wish to reuse my MiniDV tapes and I have a high end degausser for my DVCPro tapes. Can the same be done with MiniDV tapes? Are certain grades a variable if they can be erased and reused? If you do reuse do you get drop out?
Thanks in advance

I’ve bulk erased them before for reuse in non-critical applications. There’s always the risk of dropouts on used tapes. I don’t believe bulk erasure will increase or decrease the likelihood of a dropout.

Nope- unless your shoot day is worth less than the price of a tape never reuse. Just not worth it.
