As I understand it, the DVCAM magnetic tracks are the same width as those of DV, but have a wider buffer area between them. Also, since the tape is moving faster, the helical tracks would have more curve to them and their required length would fit on a narrower width of the tape, leaving more free area along the margins. Note: DVCAM rolls the tape 50% faster than SP-mode DV.
