End of Cassttes, TDK Mini DV Tapes, Superb

Advantages: Record over and over again, high quality, Compact
Disadvantages: 2 play in video you need a dv casstee convertor

...Mini DV tapes are great... And the best thing is you can record over them as many times as you like over and over again and you still get a high quality picture. Well what about my experience: Having brought a DV Camcorder I wanted to buy DV Tapes.. So rather than just buying any DV Tape I started to do my research like I normally do when I buy any of my products. I searched online (Googling IT) for DV Tapes that where of a high quality and which had a perfect playback quality. While searching over the net I came across a few DV Tape makes such as Fuji, DVC, Sony, Maxell & TDK Having read reviews about the products like I normally do, I decided to go down to my local Argos store and buy TDK DVM-60 MiniDV Tapes for £7.99. I was expecting to buy just 1 for that price but I got 2 for that price. What a bargin! Now to my...

Review of TDK DVM 60 Colour Mini DV 60 min

It's a superb tape deck! But nothing else!

Advantages: high sound quality, diverse functions, record to tape mode, record from tape mode
Disadvantages: usless instruction manual, useless recording programme, not all cables supplied

...The sound quality is good, so is the recording quality. The look and design are brilliant and so is the durability! It's an extremly good cassette deck with a level meter indication feature as well as noise reduction and dubbing which are just the start! In my opinion however, this should just be sold as a normal tape deck as the only real feature that lets it down is the transfering "2PC" mode which is actually the main idea behind this deck! Disadvantages As described previously, this tape deck has only one real disdvantage and that is the transfering of a tape to computer media. The software itself seems reasonable enough at first glance since the CD-ROM media actually includes two programmes: a music editing programme called audacity and also the main feature which is the media converting programme. This programme is...

Tape (2001)

Advantages: Ethan Hawke - Sweet Use Of Dialog - Richard Linklater - UMA
Disadvantages: Not much - That Vinces' bag of beer is not presently in my room...

...Ever since I watched "Waking Life", I became a huge fan of Richard Linklater. The magical thing about Waking Life was the fantasy trip (seeing as how its real life footage, that was converted into animation) that you experienced, while listening to dialog about very important and profound subjects. Then when I viewed "Before Sunrise" I not only was cemented as a fan, but gained great respect for the awesome way that he directed dialog. In "Tape", he has shown the unlimited possibilities, even if you are limited in materials. For "Tape" is a low budget movie that takes place completely in a motel room. But holds the power of a big budget film, both cinematically and creatively. Tape is... This film is based on a 1-act play, with only 3 characters. Tape begun as an off-off-Broadway play. All taking place in Access Theater's 5th...

Got Any More Old Tapes Laying Around?

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Takes a while for the bangers to come in

...Soon after his ?Stillmatic? album came out, in 2002 the New York MC Nas decided to bring out more material as ?The Lost Tapes?, in which he was seen to (rather than come out with a brand new album) compile a collection of all the best tunes which hadn?t made their way onto ?...I Am?, ?Nastradamus? and the 2001 album which reminded people why he created such a buzz with his 1994 debut release. 1. ?Doo Rags? He gets the album going with a fresh tune to guide listeners in. It is a calm one and features some gentle production to ease people on here as he gives you a chance to just enjoy life with a feel-good recording here. It is a tune which reflects the fact that here he was just messing around this material and came up with a light tune to escape what you typically get in a rhyme set from the Queensbridge native. **Four Stars** 2...

8mm Tapes are so last year!

Advantages: Good quality tapes that will work and last
Disadvantages: Very dated with better SD Card or Hard Drive options

...I initially wondered why people would be looking to buy these tapes, and if they do, whether it is time to update the camcorder to an affordable SD Card or hard drive version. However, if 8 mm tapes still rock your boat, then the Sony tapes work a treat. There are two kinds of Sony 8mm tapes, the 60 minute (Pack of 3 = £11.99) and 90 minute (Pack of 3 = £21.99) and weigh about 200g per tape. These are lightweight and portable and come in sealed plastic casing with good design covering. You can trust the Sony brand as a leading manufacturer in the video and audio market. The quality of the product is excellent and durable. It will fit snugly into the camcorder without sticking and you will be ready to go. The output very much depends on the quality of your camcorder. What goes in comes out. It will also make a difference if you...

Mini 10

Advantages: Quite a lot
Disadvantages: Hard to adjust to

...I have just been bought the dell mini 10 which is a compact web book. Now, until now I did not know a great deal to do with web books so my first thought was that it was cute and I was genuinely excited to get using it, however I noted that this product has not been reviewed so I did some research and had a look through some of what this dell has to offer and though I would offer a review on the item. Design Firstly I want to comment on the design of this dinky thing, the lid of mine is piano black and glossy which obviously is one of those things which you think, should I take the film off? I have left my film on as I am prone to eating whilst browsing and therefore I do not want my mini 10 to be covered in my prints within the first uses! Whilst browsing this computer, I noted that it came in other colours, green, pink...

Tape - buy the DVD.

Advantages: cool, stylish, simple, convincing
Disadvantages: Set entirely in a motel room

...Adapted from a one act, three character play by Stephen Belber, ?Tape? ought to be considered a landmark in low budget film making. Set entirely in a seedy albeit comfortable motel room in Lansing, Michigan, the feature opens with quirky shots of Vince (Ethan Hawke) drinking beer, doing press ups, and jumping energetically around his two bedded room, dressed in boxers and a vest. When old high school friend Jon turns up - a handsome, ambitious, up-and-coming film director - their past is explored through slick, natural dialogue and a convincing rapport. But as the nature of their relationship is unfolded, so does Vince?s ulterior motive, as he becomes curious to know more about a dubious incident that occurred ten years ago, involving ex girlfriend Amy. So begins the film. You?d have thought a film so limited in setting and cast would...

The Explosion - Black Tape

Advantages: Many great Pop Punk gems
Disadvantages: Probably wont appeal to those that don't usually go for Pop Punk

...The Explosion is one of those 'The Next Big Thing' branded bands - and the thing about these bands is that sometimes it happens for them, and sometimes it doesn't. However, in most of the cases where it just doesn't happen, the band isn't particularly great - this can't really be said of The Explosion. With 'Black Tape,' The Explosion has produced an album that although not entirely original, is full of substance, energy and excitement. There are many great tracks on display on this album that make The Explosion stand out from the pack and seem like a shining star in a sky of monotonous generic bands. This album kicks off with 'Deliver Us' which in some respects is a bit of a bad move because I'd say that this is probably one of the weaker tracks on the album. There is some heavy distortion on the guitars, and it doesn't really do...

Review of Black Tape (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Explosion (The)

Mini One a fun car to drive

Advantages: Solid, fun to drive high quality small car
Disadvantages: Heavy on fuel, not alot of leg room in the back

...We bought a Mini One in 2005 for my wife as a second car. We bought it on the lease purchase scheme that they ran at the time. It works by paying a deposit, we paid £2500 then for 3 years it was £199 a month with a final payment of about £5000 after the 3 years or you can trade it in for a new one and continue the monthly payments. We paid the final installement. Anyway enough about the boring finance, whats the car actually like? Its great it feels really solid and very high quality in all the finishes in the car. The doors, paintwork, buttons, steering wheel, gearstick and all the bobbles on it just feel like they are really good quality. We had to pay extra for a black roof £500 and the rest of the car is off white, it looks really good. If you buy the Cooper the black roof is included in the price. You feel really safe in this...

Review of MINI One

Cam I See You?

Advantages: Great for special events.
Disadvantages: Pricey!

...As most top quality items do, we get a nicely packaged item, with all the appropriate information, such as the instruction manual, which is overall very easy to follow and it even includes diagrams for those of you out there who are not over technically minded. The XM2 is Canon's replacement for the DM-XM1 three-CCD MiniDV camcorder. If you have seen a Sony VX2000, you will notice that these two camcorders look quite alike. Although the image of it looks quite sturdy it actually isn't (measuring 11.8 cm x 30.6 cm x 13.6 cm) , also weighing in at 1.12 kg, it makes it all that comfortable to hold. So, no tired arms! The Canon XM2 digital camcorder is the ideal choice for recording broadcast or web content, making educational videos or registering an event like a wedding. A point worth raising is that the battery lasts for a fair...
