You’d need to still have your 8mm camcorder to watch an 8mm tape these days. Some cameras also only took Digital8 tapes, so don’t assume digitizing is impossible if you view a tape at home in your camera and it seems blank or garbled. Hi8 and Digital8 tapes look almost identical to the average user, but they will say on them which format they are.
If you choose to transfer to a USB or external hard drive, all your 8mm tapes can fit onto a single drive! Is my tape Hi8 or Digital8? So when you’re converting your 8mm tapes to DVD, at least one full tape always fits onto a single DVD, but it’s possible to fit more if they are not all full or dual layer DVDs are used. Common video transfer questions How long is an 8mm tape?Īll 8mm tapes, whether they are Hi8 or Digital8 hold up to two hours of footage.
