    These tapes have always been hard to find in New Zealand; perhaps members can suggest sources in other countries? Australia is probably best for freight, but I'll check out any suggestions.

    Thanks.

    I've used TAPE WORLD in the past for VHS and S-VHS blanks ... they are good and reliable with fast shipping.

    I did a beginners video course at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) and I believe they used S-VHS tapes in their analog cameras. Maybe get in touch with a similar institute in NZ to see where they get theirs from? They might even buy on your behalf...

    Thanks Daamon. SVHS tapes ARE available in NZ but because it's a small market, they're very expensive. Someone in the chain is obviously creaming it :--))

    Probably the big education institutes who bulk buy cheaply and then sell on at a premium to make up for their cr@ppy budgets...
