I have a Super 8 camcorder (I know I know, it's old, I have a newer mini-DV that I normally use). My wife and my wedding was recorded by a friend and was given to us years ago-- on Digital 8 format. I didn't have anything to read it, until I found this old Super 8 camcorder.
****Playing the Digital 8 tape in my Super 8 camcorder produces a picture, but it's absolutely horrible quality. Do I need to get a Digital 8 camcorder to play these tapes correctly? Or is the tape itself messed up?
Answer
Basically... you will need a digital 8 camcorder to replay the digital 8 tape.... for best quality.. the digital 8 is a newer format.
If you had a super 8 or hi 8 tape. These can be played on a digital 8 camcorder. It just will not be in digital format....
I might see if you can take your tape to a store that may have a digital 8 camcorder to try.... You may want to ask the store personal as a courtesy. They might get a sale out of it. So they may comply. This way you can test to see if the tape is damaged or not. This will save you from purchasing a unit and then finding out that the tape is bad. Or see if a friend has one to borrow.
Good luck... you could also send it out to see if they can convert it over to a format you have or put on DVD....

Capturing problems for my Digital 8 Camcorder?

Heres my problem. I have a Sony Digital 8 camcorder that has a broken firewire port. I need to get video off of my camera and onto my computer. The other ports my camera has are either for RCA cable or S-video. My computer only has 1394 or USB ports. Any suggestions on what kind of cable i would need and where I can find it? PLEASE HELP!
Answer
Get it fixed.Digital 8 is still using Firewire ,so it is good.
Hi-8 tapes are available at most Photo developing Outlets,so should ne no issue.
