******DANGER****** ******DANGER****** *******DANGER****** Never use ME tape with an EVO-9650 it will DESTROY the heads!!! Seriously, on the top of your EVO-9650 there is a warning to this effect! The tape that is recommended is P6-30HMPX Sony Professional. The problem with the Hi-8 format is that you do get drop-out. Glitches are different, so if you mean glitches, we'll have to discuss this further. The EVO driver is set up to go into DNR mode on a still and Buffer mode when recording. I don't know if you have the latest driver, but the latest driver allows you to specify wether you want the buffer mode or not. Typically you use the DNR mode for playing back and Dynamic Tracking. Buffer is used for recording.
