Dude you can't tape over tapes. The actual scotch tape inside will catch fire and explode. As this explosion happens, it well send off nuclear waste, killing millions within a 5 mile radius. Then after that, your body will give off herpes to the whole world and we will all die. Make sure to NEVER tape over.

You can tape over a tape. There normally isn't any problems with it.

you CAN do it

but i wouldn't recomend doing it. usually it leads to glitches in the tape and such.

It's completely possible. But it does mess up the encoding in the tape sometimes. And it can lead to head damage in your camera.

the only way re-recording over tape would cause a problem is if you do it a bunch of times. as in, if you re-record over the same section multiple times, eventually the tape will start to wear down and the picture quality will go. otherwise, just recording over something once or twice shouldnt be a problem.
