Reborn Audio/Video offers a complete line of Hi8 to DVD, Digital 8 to DVD, and Video8 to DVD conversion services. Video8 videotape was the first of the Hi8 family, followed by Hi8 videotape and then by Digital8 videotape. Tapes from all three formats use the same tape case, but each requires a compatible tape player. Fortunately, each format camera is backward compatible, allowing the previous format to play as well as the current format. In other words, Video8 cameras and players only plays Video8 tapes. Hi8 cameras and players will play Video8 and Hi8 videotape. Digital8 cameras and players will play all three formats.
Some customers have all three formats in the same shoebox of tape because they have used all three types of cameras as they were released.
It is often impossible to tell which one of these you might have. Fortunately, we have top-of-the-line equipment for all three options.
This family of 8mm video tapes was (and is!) very popular. They allowed a much smaller format, a smaller camera, and higher quality compared to VHS. Unfortunately, they have the same root problem as VHS – they are magnetic tape. See The Top 5 Reasons for Converting Video Tape to DVD.
