Hi Everyone:
I just received an email from a company called "Tape Online" offering 60 minute Panasonic mini tapes for $3.59. At our FCP users group in Chicago we have been told it is a good idea to buy your mini tape in bulk and use the same tape from the same mfg as often as possible. I want to buy about 100 tapes as I do a fair number of video projects a year. I have been using Canon mini tapes, Sony, Panasonic and JVC. And although some of these tapes have given me problems in the past (especially during Post when all of a sudden I get some major tape drop outs or little "flecks' in the tape that weren't there before). I would like to hear from all of you which tape brand you recommend. Is $3.59 is a good deal OR are there places to go where I can get an even better deal. Sorry to be asking so many questions but I do appreciate all of your help and I am always looking for ways to save some $$$. Thanks
Fred
