mini dv tape question(s)
1st – i’ve heard that you should always use the same brand of mini dv tape in your camera – because some have wet and some dry lubricant and that it’s bad for the camera to switch between them… is this a real concern? 2nd – are 80-minute mini dv tapes more prone to problems and therefore not recommended (as with 90 and 120-min. audio tapes)? thanks.

Yes on both accounts- pick one tape and stick to it, avoid the extra long loads if you can. I’ve always used the Panasonic AY-DVM63MQ Master Quality tapes.

Noah – Thanks! I’ve heard conflicting views on this (even from pros) but your advice will be followed (from now on).
