Hi-8 is not DV. Always use a rewinder to rewind tapes NOT cameras. A DV or Hi-8 rewinder only costs $20 and is well worth the investment in extending the camera's motor and mechanism's life. Maxell MDV/RW-1 is a very good MiniDV rewinder. k On Wednesday, January 29, 2003, at 06:03 PM, Shirley Kehr wrote: > My former top of the line Sony Hi-8 destroyed a tape that had been used > only once just recently.
