Eons ago at Microdata we had a commercial grade bulk eraser which could
do 2400' reels maybe a bit larger.
I wondered by one day with a new fangled device

If it's just a small quantity to be erased, there are many Radio Shack
videotape erasers being offered, some NIB,

Certainly not DLT IV tapes--I've done the bulk eraser thing with them
and the result re-recorded just fine.
But then, DLT IV is hardly modern.
I'll add that using the little Radio Shack "high power" device well, is
not a simple matter--the trick is to keep the eraser moving and using
different angles and distances.
If you want a high-power tape *degausser*, be prepared to part with some
real cash--the low end seems to start just north
You may as well run them through a shredder. All modern tapes have embedded
servo tracks.

If it's just a small quantity to be erased, there are many Radio Shack
videotape erasers being offered, some NIB, all for about $20. I've used
one
I'd go to the Athana site, they have some degaussers and a nice write-up
about what can (and can't) be safely degaussed
