339954 2005-03-31 19:45:00 I have a special video project which will need to be filmed in Black & White format. All the adverts for Mini DV tape claim "true to life colour" etc, I need good old fashioned monochrome.

Where in NZ can I purchase 1-hour playing time B&W mini dv tape?

TIA.

339956 2005-03-31 22:04:00 There is no such thing as "b/w tape", it is entirely a function of what is recorded on it.
The tape simply records a digital stream of data, without any knowledge of what the data is.

Either the camera needs a b/w setting, or you will need an editing package to post-edit the video on a PC to black and white.

339958 2005-03-31 23:03:00 There is no such thing as "b/w tape" My sentiments exactly - a bit like asking where to get audio cassette tapes that play mono. Still, the explanation should be informative for those who wish to understand how things work.

Perhaps you can explain to me why that annoying rattle goes away when I take my car to the mechanic? :o
