I have got some JVC tapes for my GL2. I wonder how's JVC comparing to Fuji and Pana. Thanks.

When I first bought my 1st (JVC) cam, a JVC 30-minute tape came with it. So, stupid me bought more JVC tape---heck, why not? Each and everyone of these tapes caused my heads to become dirty, even when I kept cleaning the heads with a head cleaner. Finally I cleaned my heads yet once again and switched to Fuji. Since then, 5 years ago, I never had to clean my heads again. Perhaps JVC tape has since improved, I don't know, but I'd never ever consider JVC tape again.

I have read some review at somewhere that it seems JVC tapes are identical to Fuji ones. I wonder if some people or insider know more about that.
