i was going for mini dv (digital tape) but all the foroms i read & the ppl i know
with 'em have all had tape chewing disasters with some really xpensive equipment
so i got mini dvd - 8cm dvd's that hold about 30-32 mins per side, you can get dvd-r that is a burn once jobby or dvd-rw that you can record & wipe/re-record approx 1000 times apparently, it also takes single shots that play like a slide show on yo dvd player - personal choice of course but the dvd ones have been around a while now, dont get a DVD ram jobby though, - good idea but no fooking player seems to accept them !
