I like Scotch video tapes, but I had couple problems with their tapes.
1.  Rewinding one broke the tape off the reel.  2.  The second tape
was missing the audio, but whats even worse, the audio stayed off
even when I put in another tape.  Finally I cleaned the tape head and
the audio came back.  Probably some sort of particles flaking off the
tape?

Anyway, now I am fairly hesitant to buy Scotch video tapes.  Has anyone
else have problems with Scotch tapes?
