Just a quick question on mini dv tapes. I have noticed some mini dv HD tapes out there stamped for use in all mini dv camcorders. Does anyone have any experience using the HD grade tapes in a standard def recorder? I have been using Sony tapes for the last 3 years for concerts (DV80PRL) with only one tape having a frame dropout issue, and even then it was only 5 frames dropped. I like the Sony 80 minute tapes because I can run LP mode and get 2 hours out of it, which makes it easier for me to keep from switching tapes and for syncing audio.

I recently purchased a Canon ZR500 since it has better low light capability than my Sony, and I am looking for recommendations on blank media, if you all have any. Thanks!
