I
really wish this was correct, but my experiences with MD is bad.
I have used various Sony prosumer units always with the same result. Over an hour or so, MD lags by about quarter to half of a second. Starts off perfect but certainly does drift out when syncing to DV. I was very surprised myself when I first attempted it, and mad at myself for trying again other times.
I changed to a CD recorder and wham. Perfect time.
I hasten to add I record music where split second timing is essential. It may not be so noticeable when you dont have drums thumping out of time.
