Two questions about video tape

[ChrisA]

1) I'm to lazy to drive to the store and it's raining... Anyone know of a good,
trustworthy, low priced, on-line source for miniDV tapes? (Yes I know how to
use Google but it finds way to many places to checkout. I'm looking for
personel recommendations.


2) Does anyone think the brand of tape matters? Are they all the same or are
the more expensive tapes really better? I'm currently using Sony "premium" 60
minute tapes that come in the blue wrappers. (Let me go out on a limb here and
predict the answers: "They are all the same but I'm using XXX with good result
and I'm not taking any chances by switching.")


Thanks.

I've bought from ecost with no complaints, a Sony 10-pak is $24.90 right now.

I've used Tape Resources for about 4 years now to get the same tapes you refer to and have been quite satisfied. However I'm checking the ecost option since the price quoted is better.
