The Brand name/Price ratio was right. I used a few of these tapes and only one had some errors - the video breaks into little squares and audio is missing for about 20 seconds.
I have not tried the product as yet, but the price is a great bargain.
I bought these for use on three different camcorders - an older Panasonic SD camcorder, a newer consumer model Sony HD, and a professional model JVC GY-HD100. I shot in standard definition and HDV, and the footage I uploaded looked great on all of them. I also used a more expensive "Master" model of Panasonic miniDV Panasonic Mini DV tapes for some of the footage, and I can't tell the difference in quality. Unfortunately, I'm not really an expert in the field, and probably someone who was could give a good reason why to pay about four or five times as much for the more expensive tapes -- and it may have to do with durability over the long haul -- but for my purposes this one seemed to do quite well.
I read somewhere that you should try to stick with the same DV tapes because the film is different between the brands and it will help your DV recorder last longer. I searched for the same brand and make of DV tapes and found it here. I have used my Panasonic DV recorder for over 5 years now. The best price and a good shipping time too.
The price went up a little from when I first bought these, but for the price you get the most MiniDV tapes out of any other offer from what I've seen.
