Re: Bulk erase mini DV tapes?
Mini DV has, I think, a very high flux density (a "metal" tape, or at least a chrome formulation, same as DAT/DDS and more recent computer formulations).
Unless you have a really strong bulk eraser available, you may find it very difficult to bulk them fully.
Manual erase through the recorder may be tedious but may be the best option, unfortunately. I cannot remember if the format has a full width erase head, but it probably does.
Edit: posts crossed, but some models of Weircliffe will probably do it, but older ones probably not.
