  • Large DV Tapes Recording over 96mins

    Posted by Southeastvideo on September 6, 2007 at 12:33 am

    I am going to be needing to work on a long form live event where in the past I was swaping out 1hr (Mini DV) tapes at some point to keep catching all the action. The GY-DV5000 I have now will accept the full size DV tapes that can record from 96-187 minutes. Has anyone had any issues using these larger tapes including the non stop recording time?

    Thanks,

    Robert

    I had two DV5000’s and used Sony DVCAM 124’s for two years straight. Solid as a rock. You actually get 180 min out of DVCAM 124 min because of the speed difference.

    You should be fine.
