10 Pack 60 min DVM Premium

They were as advertised! I bought them to go in my old video camera. They fit perfectly for my camera. They only have 1 hour per tape though.

Mini-DV Video Tapes are hard to find and get these days! These Sony Video Tapes Are Excellent and They Work Wonderfully For Me! I’m a community Videographer and I’m Very Happy to be Working with These Quality Sony Mini-DV Video Tapes! Chuck Smith Sandpoint, Idaho

This is a great price for all of these cassettes. Very happy with my purchase!

that fit in my old sony camera

I bought these right before a month-long trip to Europe. I was super excited to capture my once-in-a-lifetime experience while abroad, but after videoing, I finally watched the playback to find that the audio cut out about 70% of the time, and the picture was also very glitchy. The footage was unusable and, for the most part, unintelligible. I was super sad because I'll never get that footage or memories back. I should have known from the price that it was too good to be true. I would not buy this product.

Had aproblem getting the tape recognized by the camera.

it was a gift

Very good product will, will order again.

Ich filme mit der Sony VX1000. Diese Tapes sind dafür sehr gut geeignet und ich würde keine anderen empfehlen

J'avais déjà utilisé cette marque, j'ai juste été surpris de recevoir une lettre avec toutes ces K7 alors que généralement il y a une boite. j'en ai utilisé une et aucun soucis, je suis content d'avoir racheté ces K7.

This ten pack is superb value when on usual offer for under £15 from Amazon - so stock up for the hols and Xmas (as a single cassette in a high-street shop can cost up to 5 times more than the unit price offered here). Quality and reliability seem perfectly fine for my budget Sony HC22E HandyCam, never a dropout and the picture is noticably better than with my old Hi8 tapes - I always record in SP though. Note video tape such as used in these cassettes are proprietary 'lubricated' and sticking to the same brand of tape (e.g. these Sony ones) has been thought by many to reduce problems with the video head clogging up and miss-tracking. No-one seems to have reported problems mixing Sony MiniDV with Fuji, and manufacturers modified their dry lubricants back in 1997 just in case - but if you want to be really careful stick with one brand. Incidently, MiniDV Hi8 standard8 video cassette tapes like these, and their recorded video images, have a projected life of 10 years after which even the plastic components of the cassette mechanism start to fail (besides will there be any miniDV camcorders to play these tapes in 20 years time). Over this period some of the signal on the tape will be lost slowly to noise by 'print-through' as the tape sits in contact with itself (by magnetic induction). This is particularly bad for older analogue tape (e.g. Hi8), but MiniDV isn't immune. Fast forward/rewinding the tape every year or so will help reduce this (as will recording the original in SP not LP). So transfer video tape to digital DVD before this becomes a problem, using the AV 'analogue in' on a DVD recorder works as well as a PC - and recopy your video DVD [with 'verify write' on] to a new DVD every 5 years [using a PC]. Keep the Sony tape master as well. Also look after your MiniDV camcorder, as tapes recorded on one don't always replay perfectly on another manufacturer's model. So think about archiving sometime or your precious memories might simply fade away.

Cassette tres pratique elle se fond tellement rare qu’on n’est content de les trouver sur Amazon. Produit très pratique pour les anciens comme mais parent.

I began using these tapes when I bought my first Sony digital camcorder 10 years ago, and have taken many hundreds of hours of excellent footage with them. I have never had any reason to change. Indeed - one reason in particular for not changing is that Sony use a different (wet) tape lubricant than other brands of tape, and so you should always stick to Sony tapes if you start using them, or the dry lubricant used on other tapes will cause problems with clogging. The same applies if you start using dry lubricant tapes - in that case, avoid Sony tapes. When I moved to HD two years ago (Canon HV20), I started using the far more expensive Sony HD tapes exclusively, and they performed extremely well. However, there is a lot of misinformation put out that only specialist HD tapes can be used successfully with an HD camcorder. Let me make it clear here and now that *this is not the case*. I have used Sony Premium MiniDV tapes (at half the price of the HD variants) with my Canon HV20 with perfect results, and no drop-outs to date. For this reason I almost always use these, and only switch the the HD variety when I am taking mission critical footage. There is no difference in storage capacity between the HD and standard Premium tapes, and a lot of people don't realise this. The difference is in the quality of the coating, and the standard tapes are already so good, the HD varient are really overkill. So whether you're shooting standard definition or even HD footage (as long as it's not a very important occasion like a wedding) these tapes are truly exceptional in both performance and reliability. Thoroughly recommended.
