Page 1 of Help with video tape formats

Hi Guyz
My old camcorder has gone down the tubes, and I`m left with loads of 8mm Tapes.

I`ve tried looking on Ebay for a cheap 8mm camcorder, but they all go for around £100, and I can buy a brand new one for £150.

I can either get a new samsung camcorder or get one of a different format.

The question I have is:


Which video format is compatable with 8mm.
Hi 8 ... or ... Digital 8




I know someone here will have the answer.




Thanks

out of those two, i`d go for digital-8 BUT if you can get a mini-dv recorder instead as these are better that both :D

Both Hi 8 and Digital 8 camcorders will play 8mm tapes

Buy a mini DVd recorder & borrow from friend or shop an 8mm camera & transfer your 8mm tapes to DVD.
