Sony Pro Duo Magicgate Problem

Mazcabs

Hi have just bought a Sony Handycam DCR-DVD110E and am trying to buy some memory /discs to use on it. When I look in the manual it says use Memory Stick Pro Duo.
Further on in the manual it tells me not to use the ones with Magicgate!. Have phoned Sony helpline and they said thats correct but can't find any memory sticks that dont have Magicgate.

Any ideas where I can get them or are the other ones ok ?

According to the manual (go to page 5 in link below) it doesn't mention anything about not being Magicgate.

All it mentions is you cannot use the older "larger" version. If you look at the picture of the card the newer "smaller" version is advised as compatible.

Thanks Millionaire, my only problem was if you look on page 118 of the manual it says something about not using magicgate which is why I am confused. Do you think the magicgate ones will be ok then?
