Are you 200% certain there are no weddings, baptisms, round the world cruises on any of those tapes? Of course you can reuse them, I don't know the exact number of times you can until they start showing wear and tear from being rewound and fast forwarded. Just remember, there is a nasty surprise built into video tapes and that is, once you record over a precious, once in a lifetime, never to be repeated event, that's it ... IT'S GONE.
