Yep, that's the info I'm hoping for, how many times can a tape
reasonably be recorded -- though the shelf life info is good to
have too!
I found a pdf put out by Sony that said HDCAM SR tape is good for
an impressive 50 uses with no loss of quality. SR is a completely
different formula than 'just' HDCAM... but I wonder if durability
is similar.
