Comments about Panasonic Panasonic AY-DVM83MQ, 83/55 Minute Master Quality Mini-DV Digital Tape - Pack of 10:
Purchased 25 of these about 8 months ago for a Panasonic DVC-30 Camcorder (Note: Although Panasonic tapes, this length is NOT recommended for use in this camcorder?!!). No matter. The tapes are wound too tight. Without external winding and rewinding, the tapes jam in this and other mini-DV recorders. 7 out of the 25 purchased even jammed in the rewinder, rendering them useless. Until Panasonic reduces the manufacturing winding tension on these tapes, I would not recommend purchasing them.
