My experience with Exabytes was different; we used "data" tapes, not the 
cheaper "video" tapes and had no problems over many years.

In fact, in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data8 we see:

    ``The cassettes have the same dimensions and construction as the
      cassettes used in 8 mm video format recorders and camcorders.''

In other words, they are not the same thing...
