  <markup-description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sony 63 Minute HD Mini DV Tape: DVM63HDR&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sony's new DVM-63HD HD DV tape offers the highest quality recording media for the consumer or prosumer making the step-up to an HD camcorder. It is the recommended media for Sony's new HDR-FX1 prosumer camcorder. Independent film makers, advertising agencies, and other videographers will appreciate the improved image quality, and the professional 63 minute tape duration. The DVM-63HD features 90% fewer errors and 50% fewer dropouts compared to DV Reference tape (tested on standard Sony DV VCR). The Sony DVM63HDR is the new product number for the DVM63HD.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High Definition Video Recording&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Designed for 1080i or 720p HDV recording and playback.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;63 minutes recording time of 1080i video&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3dB higher carrier-to-noise ratio vs. Premium DVC tape*&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Conforms to the MiniDV standard, yet is manufactured with much higher tolerances while incorporating the new AME II technology.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New lubricant improves tape stability running under a wide range of operating conditions.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The additional 3-minutes on the DVM63HD tape is for test recording. This helps the user calibrate the camera for best results. You can record the full 63 minutes of 1080i video. When recording in 720p HDV or in DV mode, you can record 94 min in LP and 63 min in SP setting.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Key Benefits&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;90% fewer errors due to 40% increase in carrier-to-noise ratio*&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;50% fewer dropouts*&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;50% less tape shrinkage* &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;3db higher carrier-to-noise ratio*&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;* vs. Reference DVC tape (industry standard) tested on standard Sony DV VCR&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why Families Should Buy Mini DV Camcorders &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Professionals are not the only ones that can benefit from buying Mini DV camcorders.  Families can enjoy  the same features as professionals and bring a new age of sensibility to their home movies.  How much of your life do you wish was on video, perfectly recorded for viewing even years later?  You may be fascinated at the idea of looking into a window to the past, when you were younger, when your grown children were still small or when your first grandchild was born.  Of course, VHS technology has been around for decades, but that technology was not always stable.  VHS tapes could be easily damaged and most footage shot was dark, grainy and of poor sound quality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A digital video recorder fixes much of VHS' old problems, since it uses high-density videocassette tapes and gives you High Definition format as an option.  It also gives you a much clearer picture, a more sophisticated sound and even has nightlights to prevent bad quality due to inefficient lighting.  With a system this complex you might think that a Mini DV camcorder would be difficult to use.  However, many novices use these cameras and simply follow the instructions on the touch menu screen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While professionals like Mini DV camcorders for their editing capabilities, typical families tend to favor the affordability and convenience of this technology.  Mini DV camcorders cost less compared to other types of digital recorders and the tapes are the least expensive of all, as you can get a 60-minute MiniDV tape for just over $2.  Portability is very advantageous, especially to family members who are always in a rush and need quick access to their camera.  These cameras can be held in one hand and can be easily operated by a teenager or family head alike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The best Mini DV camcorders are compatible with PC and Mac programs.  That means that you can shoot high quality footage on your recorder and then download it to your personal computer at any time.  You can make multiple DVD copies or keep it on your hard drive for fast email forwarding.  Now you can make a memory last forever-right on your PC!&lt;/p&gt;</markup-description>
