Where to buy cheap miniDV/digital8 tapes??

[chris langham]

Dear all,
Tried to search for this in the forum but had no luck.

Just wondered where all you guys buy your DV tapes for your camcorders - I'm guessing there's a cheap website but I've not found one yet.

for info I've found www.svp.co.uk still seems to me the cheapest for blank dvd's, but they don't sell the tapes.

It's back to the age old question of "how can I archive my DV footage?". If I can get cheaper than high street prices I'm thinking of keeping the original tapes (plus saving mpeg2 and divX for completion).

UK based websites preferred please, or the postage gets expensive.

Thanks a lot

I'm in the US, sorry. But I've used froogle to find tapes for me (the "shopping" version of google) and I've consistently found good deals with that. Maybe there's a UK version of froogle?

I got my last lot from 7dayshop.com
Panasonic 5 packs for about £10 i think.
