💿 Sony DVM63HDR/2 HD MiniDV Videocassette - Pack of 2 Review

Tape probably decent quality but can't comment on durability as I just received it. I figured I'd order premium tapes which contain the cassette memory recommended by Sony for my new 3CCD camcorder. These tapes have no cassette memory. It turns out I don't need this feature as I've learned the hard way not to use the camcorder for anything other than recording and then uploading the files to disk for later editing in Adobe Premier. (Use tape drives on camcorders for unusual edits or re-viewing…

We've used these tapes on both the Canon HV20 and XHA1 and they tend to fall out a few seconds into the recording and sometimes lose frames later. At first we thought it was one of the cameras or a head cleaning issue, but it happens on two cameras, two different models. Because of this, we missed some key shots. The problem doesn't happen with every band, but often enough that we won't be using it anymore.

After purchasing our Canon VIXIA HV30 MiniDV HD camcorder with 10x optical stabilized zoom during the last autumn break I started buying these Sony HD Tapes. As for the quality of the tapes, I didn't notice any fading or dropped frames even after about 20 hours of recording on 20 different tapes. The item itself makes a very good impression. The colors and resolution are *amazing*. When I compared a kitchen scene side by side with my old standard definition MiniDV and MiniDV tapes versus the HD

This is a quality Sony product. I didn't expect less from them. I've encountered a strange problem with one of my Sony cassettes that I bought from a retail store about a year ago. The tape is hardcoded with a command that repeats every few minutes and cannot be erased. The command does not affect the operation of the camera itself, but disables audio recording on my computer using Adobe Premier software and connecting to the camera via Firewire. I have sent this cartridge back to Sony as a…

The strap is probably of decent quality but I can't comment on the durability as I just received it. I figured I'd order high quality cassettes that contain the cassette memory recommended by Sony for my new 3CCD camcorder. These tapes have no cassette memory. It turns out I don't need this feature as I've learned the hard way not to use the camcorder for anything other than recording and then uploading the files to disk for later editing in Adobe Premier.

After purchasing our Canon VIXIA HV30 High Resolution 10x Optically Stabilized Zoom MiniDV camcorder, I started buying these Sony HD camcorders over the last autumn break ribbons. In terms of tape quality, I didn't notice any lag or frame drops, even after around 20 hours of recording on 20 different tapes. The product itself makes a very good impression. The colors and resolution are *amazing*. When I compared a kitchen scene from my old standard definition MiniDV and MiniDV tapes to the HD…
