5.0 out of 5 stars Good tape, great price, October 22, 2004

By	Munoz Productions "Dave" (Des Moines, Iowa) - See all my reviews

I've ordered twice from this vendor (total of 3 ten-packs) and have been completely satisfied with the quality of the tape and their prompt shipping. I've used these tapes in my business for multiple projects, shooting on a professional Sony DVcam camcorder. I've had no problems at all. And the price is great, obviously. I'll be ordering more of same from this vendor soon.

NOTE: I have learned through years of experience that with ANY brand of videotape it is wise to "re-pack" the tape before shooting on it, preferably in an edit deck. (In order save on weight & battery consumption, camcorder motors are less heavy-duty than edit deck motors. If you have an edit deck, save your camera the wear and tear.)

"Re-packing" is simply a matter of fast-forwarding the fresh tape all the way to the end, the rewinding it to the beginning. This rewinds (or "re-packs") the videotape with a 'normal' tension that is not too tight for the motor of one's camcorder.

Rarely, but sometimes the high-speed manufacturing process can result in tape being wound so tightly that that minor tape speed fluxuations (or tape stretching - ouch!) can result when using a camcorder for recording on tapes that one has not re-packed. Again, this is something I recommend for any brand of mini-DV tape, from any vendor, at any price. Happy shooting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great, June 9, 2006

By	FFracer (Horseheads, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Clogged heads are caused by mixing TDK or Sony tapes with any other brand. Their formulation is different. Don't do it. Use only TDKs or Sonys in your machine or you can mix Panasonic, Maxell, JVC, Fuji, or Canon brands together. Those brands are all the same formulation.

These JVC (I bought Japan labeled "Victor" brand) are made by Fuji and work great.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Digital Tape - Highly Recommend, March 6, 2004

By	Cajun (Houston, Tx) - See all my reviews

Just received my 2nd order of the JVC MDV60ME 10 pack of mini DV from Amazon.com. This is the best value I have found for high quality mini DV tape.

They work great in my Canon Optura Xi. Vivid color with good contrast. Excellent audio. Will reorder when again in need.
