Stephen Floyd Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I've recently discovered they make digital video tape that records in high definition and it looks very much like the standard definition tape I am already using, except it costs four times as much. If I try to use it in my DVX 100, will the quality of footage I record improve at all, and will it even record? I imagine I already know the answer to this question, I just wanted to make sure.

Saul Rodgar Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) I saw someone accidentally record 480i DV instead of 720p HDV (as they intended) on one of those Sony HDV Mini DV-sized tapes on a JVC camera. The 480 footage looked just the same as if it had been recorded on a regular tape. Technically, one could argue that the slightly higher levels of iron oxide on the HDV tape or me more stringent production process and quality control would make a difference vs recording on the regular Mini DV tape, but I couldn't see it.
