[MacDV] Mini DV tape brands

[Gerhard]

Eric I would be careful with using cleaner tape as most are abrasive 
and over use will shorten the life of your camera.  There has been talk 
in the past about incompatible lubricants when you switch tape brands 
but I have yet to see problems that can be attributed to using 
different brands of tape.
