Summary: Great Tape for Professional Purposes

Comment: Before I begin, let me say that I have had engineers tell me that there is very little different from this product than from Sony mini DVCam tapes. It is slightly more stable which is very important when dealing with HDv as the distortion of one frame could destroy a second of footage.

This is due to how HDv encodes footage. Whereas miniDV records each frame at the same resolution, HDv uses a Group of Pictures (GoP). Basically the first frame in a GoP is full resolution, then every other frame in the GoP uses that as its reference, and changes resolution as needed.

All that to say, I only buy these tapes for professional purposes; and mainly for my clients. It's more of a piece of mind thing for them then it is for me. I would not recommend buying these for personal memories, as it would be overkill. They just cost too much for personal use. Use other Sony tapes. But do use Sony tapes; they have less gunk than most others (except Panasonic, which I hear are pretty clean).

Summary: Great quality
