Is there a real difference in professional miniDV tapes and that of sony that I could get at walmart? I mean, I could get 5 tapes for $20 at walmart, but the video shop here sells pro tapes for $12.99 each. I didn't even know there was such a thing until last week. Is there really a difference?

There has to be over a dozen threads here that cover that subject in great great detail. Please refer to them before starting another one. If you find you still have a specific question that has not been answered, then please post it.

Much thanks---Mike
