Large or ''L-size'' cassettes (125.1 x 78 x 14.6&nbsp;mm)<ref name="borgotallo" /> are close in size to small [[MII (videocassette format)|MII]] cassettes and are accepted by most standalone DV tape recorders and are used in many shoulder-mount camcorders. The L-size cassette can be used in both Sony and Panasonic equipment; nevertheless, they are often called ''DVCAM tapes''. Older Sony decks would not play large cassettes with DVCPRO recordings, but newer models can play these and M-size DVCPRO cassettes. These cassettes come in lengths up to 276 minutes of DV or HDV video (or 184 minutes for DVCAM). Unlike the VHS and Digital8 formats that use thinner tape for their longest-length variants, the 276-minute DV cassette employs the same tape as its shorter-length variants. On the DVCPRO side, these cassettes have nearly double the tape capacity of their M-size counterparts, with duration up to 126 minutes for DVCPRO, 63 minutes for DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO HD-LP, and 31.5 minutes for the original DVCPRO HD.{{Discuss|DVCPRO HD L-cassette maximum length}} A thin-tape 184/92/46-minute version was also released.{{Citation needed|date=September 2024}}
