There is some kind of command hard-coded on the tape that repeats every few minutes and can not be erased. This is a quality product made by Sony. I sent that tape back to Sony as a warranty claim and am now waiting for their reply. The command does not affect operation of the camera itself, but mutes the sound capture on my computer using Adobe Premier software and a Firewire connection to the camera. I would expect nothing less from them. I did discover a strange problem with one of my Sony tapes purchased about a year ago from a retail store.
By design, DV and HDV tapes are identical.The only difference is the price. These are fine tapes, but there is no need to spend so much money.
Amazon's buying service was outstanding, excellent price and quick delivery. I would not hesitate to recommend the product to anyone. The Sony HD Minidv Video tape cassette yields outstanding results both in Color reproduction and sound. I have used the tape in my Canon HD Video Camera on several over seas trips, filming with a wide variety of back grounds and available light.
I also save about $10 per tape by just buying standard DV tapes in bulk. I've used both these tapes, and standard mini dv tapes. I see no difference really.
Do yourself a favor and spend the couple of extra bucks on these tapes over cheaper off-branders and you won't regret it. I use these videocassettes in the Canon XH-A1 and I've never had to think twice about audio dropouts or poor quality footage.
