I have purchased Maxell's DF-300 stock in the past. Can't seem to find any of them at this point. Are they not available anymore? If not, does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement item. Is the Panasonic D-VHS tape item of high quality?

I had quality problems with the JVC brand D-VHS tapes and so moved to the Maxell. They worked fine. But I didn't get enough of them. Need more. Any help is appreciated.

Tape World (http://www.tapeworld.com/) still carries D-VHS.

Thanks Bill for that info. Looks like they only have the JVC product. But a good source for many items nonetheless.

Anyone have any experience with the Panasonic D-VHS tape stock?

Yeah they are fine. Have various movies recorded on them and they seem to hold their content for a long time.

OK, I'll give the Panasonic tapes a shot. I'm ordering 15 of them ... so I'd like to have some confidence they are good. Thanks for the info.

I have some new tapes left that I'll probably part with since I'm not recording anything with my 30000 any longer. PM me if interested.

I left DVHS long ago but I had used SVHS tapes for recording HD material almost exclusively and never had any issues.
