What is "mini dv" and what are you trying to accomplish?

Before I posted, I searched newegg.com for mini dv drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?DEPA=0&type=&Description=mini+dv+drive&Submit=ENE&Ntk=all&N=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=24&Go.y=31).  The two results from that search are really not mini dv drives.  In the Google results, I see mention of "dv tapes".  Tapes?  What is this?  I'd still like to see an explanation from the original poster about this.
