I've been using Maxell P6-60HMBQ. Haven't seen any dropouts yet with this stuff, unlike Sony which is loaded with dropouts. I only use it for camera acquisition, though. Check with John Ellis, I believe he does single frame with Hi8.

Richard, << hi 8 tapes.. >> Don posted this months ago…..It may not be relevant anymore….. "You may want to try IVT at 407-298-8778. Ask for Ruth Ann Fowler and tell her I, (Scuba Tech, Inc.) sent you. She is carrying a new grade of Maxell that is supposed to be certified dropout free. It's metal particle for Hi 8. I was just there today and she showed it to me, so I know she has it in stock. Her prices are usually pretty good and they ship UPS-COD. Let me know if it is any good for your application."
