I had nothing but problems with my Canon HV30 using another brand of tape and head cleaner, but after switching to Panasonic products all my issues have cleared up. I was constantly getting a dirty head warning, but after cleaning it would happen again after only 1 taping session. I originally switched to the Panasonic DVM63AMQ, which is sadly not available now, but the HDVM63MQ seems to be the same exact tape. It is the only brand I will use in my camera going forward, and I am happy to report that after the first cleaning using a Panasonic head cleaner I haven't had any need to repeat, and that was 3 months ago! It is exactly what the doctor ordered!

Comments about Panasonic AY-HDVM63MQ Mini 63 Minute Master Quality HDV/Pro DV-Compatible Tape:
I only film in HDV. My camera has never been introduced to a compatible tape until recently. If this tape was put into the original Panasonic OEM blue packaging, I would never notice the difference. In fact, it seems to be wound more evenly than the the OEM. I will continue to use this tape and save a few bucks with every purchase.

Comments about Panasonic AY-HDVM63MQ Mini 63 Minute Master Quality HDV/Pro DV-Compatible Tape:
We use this tape when the shot needs to be safe from artifacts, good storage and reliable quality. Our 'B' roll cameras are critical to our work filming huge Tiger Sharks for conservation efforts and this is the only tape we will use based off several expeditions over years and this tape's reliability compared to others. Highly recommended and fair cost.

Comments about Panasonic AY-HDVM63MQ Mini 63 Minute Master Quality HDV/Pro DV-Compatible Tape:
So far, no dropouts. I plan to use these in my new camcorder, to avoid head clogging problems from mixing brands of tape lubricants. It's too soon to know how well this plan will work, but so far, so good. Image quality is great when I get the camera settings and light right.
