Do you mean that if you do a hexedit of the disk, all you see are 0x00s?  Or
just that there is no data that you have an application to interpret?

Can you take another mini-dv that you know works properly and see what sort
of luck you have with that?

Maybe dd both of them and compare the hex to look for similarities that
might lead to discovering information about the file system.

Just reading a few articles from a google search makes me wonder if you need
to use tools designed to work with streaming data.  Mini-dv is a tape-based
format, so tools for DVDs and CDs (and hard disk drives) may not work.

What would someone use to forensically examine a DAT or DLT?
