But they are completely different tapes. DAT tapes are larger tapes than DV. DV are a bit thicker though and the DV tape does not fit into a DAT drive.
I have a Sony DV camcorder and also two DAT drives. They are different tapes and drives and are not interchangable. (wish they were though)

Okay, OT I guess, or perhaps not.
After listening for weeks about this special DV format tape in mini-DV video cameras, I finally found out today that it is just a DAT tape. For which we have hired a DV camera for a week to read the tapes {:-(
So the obvious question is, can this tape be read in a DAT (rather than a camera) drive under Linux?
Just thought I would ask if anyone has done it?
