Panasonic MiniDV tapes

[rigind]

Hey all, how many times can I record on a single 60 minute tape before it is a bad idea?

Any ideas?

depends what you mean by bad idea?

if your shooting something important, never re-use a tape. If its not important, and your using the good MQ tapes, you can reuse them 2 or 3 times, but your probally gonna start getting dropouts. 5 bucks for 60 minutes isnt that bad you know.

Cool, didn't know that they were SO sensitive to reuse.

Thanks Jarred

keep up the good site work! :-]

Another thing to keep in mind. It is not so bad on the tapes, as the more worn the tape is, the harder it is on the heads of your camera.

Is a bad idea to use the Mq tapes 2 or 3 times?
