RCA may be one of the easiest videotapes to find,besides Sony brand. In my book RCA videotapes are much better than Sony. I do occassionally find small flaws using the RCA tapes,but these are nowhere near as bad as the flaws I have had with Sony tapes. There is the rare occassion that there might be a tracking line towards the bottom of the screen,but anymore you get that with VCRs being cheaply made not able to record as good,as the old ones. RCA tapes are pretty good tapes to use for recording movies for your videolibrary,not the best but nowhere near the worst.
