I never understand the impulse for people to even attempt to store mini-DV footage on a DVD-R. It just won't fit! The mini-DV tapes last a long time. Earlier this year I re-captured and re-edited dozens of mini-DV tapes that I had shot as far back as 1999 and there was not a glitch on them, and some of them had been stored in a box in a barely air conditioned storage unit for years or in my own house in a drawer somewhere. Min-DV tapes make great backups, for DV and hopefully going forward for HDV footage. If I ever need to re-edit or recapture I almost always have the project files to re-compose the edit.
