Q: I want to send DAT tapes from my camcorder to my parents. Is it safe to send them through the mail? How susceptible are they to damage by heat and/or cold?
A: I remember in my old company we sent DAT tapes to Europe; however we were more concerned about mail getting lost then temperatures.
I would recommend sending them FedEx with a thick layer of bubble wrap around it and in a plastic bag.
If you have access to a computer, at least make a copy of your files. Wouldn't it make sense to transfer files from the Camcorder to the computer and then burn a DVD which is easier to send and in the meantime easy to watch in a DVD player or computer. DAT tapes sound like an ancient technology to me.
