[MacDV] mini dv tape deck

[Rod Duncan]

Not me. Used Sony mini-DV's for years. Not my favourite tape. But 
they worked without issue in the deck. All tapes work. Maxell, Fuji 
including my favourite Panasonic professional.

>>Blurb on the most recent model:
>>The JVC SR-VS30U is a dual format deck that incorporates two of the 
>>most popular media formats in one easy to use machine. The unit 
>>will accept mini-size DV and DVCAM digital cassettes as well as 
>>SVHS and VHS analog tapes. The product is one machine that will 
>>feed both digital and analog editing platforms the high quality 
>>signals they require. And owning the SR-VS30U means having one less 
>>machine on your desktop. Much more affordable than Sony's. And 
>>personally, not a big fan of the Sony company.
