Yea, I mention recording it and putting it on DVD, and now I don't even
have to show up for it to happen. Strange.

I don't know about other people, but I don't think I can copy a tape
without borrowing a camcorder.
Also, it came to my attention on a video related board a while back that
Sony and Panasonic made miniDV tapes use different lubercants, and that
using both type of tapes (at least Panasonic's are available under various
brand names) in one camcorder will make sticky globs. Very bad.
Anyone here use both kinds of tapes? I've stuck to the Panasonic brand
because I can get JVC branded 60 minute tapes cheap, and the 80 minute
ones are good.
Also, I have 5 Panasonic professional grade 60 minute tapes. I figured
they might have fewer data errors when used.
