I'm doing lots of video stuff at the moment, and I'm wondering how to
wipe/format mini DV video tapes. My camera doesn't have such a
function, and at the moment I'm doing it by leaving the lense cap on
and just leaving the video camera to record over the whole tape. Any
ideas?
Reason I ask - not for any "secret squirrel stuff" - it's just that at
sports comps I tend to record lots of short scenes (3-5 mins), and
sometimes review them immediately with my team mates, then record
again, then .... Old and new stuff gets mixed up easily, and it gets
kind of messy...
