Terfyn said: Another idea may be a Video-8 to VHS-C cassette and the use of a VHS to DVD recorder to transfer. Video8 has an 8mm wide tape, while both VHS and VHS-C are half-inch. There is no way the mechanism in a VHS (-C) player can be converted to accommodate Video8.
Aug 15, 2011. #2. Welcome to the forum. A quick Google search for your V8 VCR brings up several requests for a manual, but no actual download links that I could see - either free or paid for. Due to the age of these devices I'm not really surprised that the manual is not easy to track down on the internet.
Member. Nov 2019. Buenos Aires, Argentina. My Sony DCR-TRV120 camera does not play Video 8 cassettes. A few days ago it worked with the same Video 8, I digitized them with Firewire. Yesterday I tried to use it as a capture card using its Firewire / DV output and its A / V RCA input, which didn't work, the sound was fine but plugging in the ...
Video 8 is an analog format. You must use an A/D capture device to get the analog NTSC video converted to a YCbCr file or encoded to DVD. YCbCr is the digital component standard used for a DVD. If you make an NTSC DVD, it will be playable in most PAL DVD players. There is no reason to "convert to PAL".
I thought it was a tape degradation issue, until it became obvious that it was the camcorder. After I got a Sony GV-D200, the tapes played flawlessly at first. After returning to capture more of my Hi8 material after a layoff, some of the old symptoms reappeared. I think playing them is key - the tape is engaged with the heads.
I have recently bought an 'as new' Digital 8 camcorder (Sony DCR-TVR245E PAL) to play my old Video 8 tapes. My original Video 8 player is broken beyond repair. I read that this camcorder would play Video 8 and allow me to transfer onto DVD. The camera seems to work ok. Records and plays back on a Digital 8 cassette that came with it, etc.
My new project for 2023 is to convert all my parents' Video 8 footage to digital. I found their old Handycam, but any tape I play back on it has some horizontal interference / lines at the bottom, both when viewed through the viewfinder and also when connected to a TV through the yellow/black connectors. I already cleaned the rotating head ...
If you are accustomed to high-resolution computer graphics (as are we all), then you will find that no legacy analog video appears to be "very high" quality. The resolution and stability just aren't there, although Hi8 will look appreciably better than VHS, for example. I don't have any experience with the August card.
UK. Jun 25, 2018. #1. As said in the title I'm using a Sony Video 8 Handycam (CCD-FX300E). I'm not really used to using video 8 cameras so this is all quite new to me, but I'm having a few problems with the one I bought. It was listed as being in full working order so I'm not sure what the problem is. Basically, after charging the battery and ...
- A Digital8 or Hi8 camcorder with S-Video out and built in line TBC (yes even for V8 tapes), not that low quality V8 player you have now that have only noisy composite out. - A Capture card from the 2000's such as the Pinnacles, under Windows 7 for a better working driver.
