wow, there are 2 kinds of tape recorders. analog (like VHS) and digital. the GR-DV800 uses digital tape aka miniDV. you need to get a miniDV tape (sometimes marked as DVC digital video cassette), should cost less than $5 usd. while you are at it, look around for the cable to connect to the computer ieee1394 port. it came with the camera, but getting a replacement is easy.
