Review on Sony DVM63 DVC Mini Tape by Evan Hernandez

I own a small video shop, mostly filming local shows (70+ a year) and releasing about 3000 DVDs a year. I experienced significant frame drops that were actually on the mini DV (ie no frame drops due to interruptions in downloading to the computer). When I googled the problem I found that the problem was that I had used mini DVs too many times and saved them incorrectly. So I bought these fresh miniDVs and used them a maximum of 5 times before throwing them away. Since then I have not had a passport on the tape. I love Sony DVM HD - wouldn't use anything else.
