Need a fully working 90's/early 2000's camcorder player for my Video8/8mm tapes.


Pics of what i mean at the bottom post


Had a very kind person here with a machine but this is not working as well unfortunately, so I'm still on the look-out for Digital8/Video8/8mm tape as my machine like many others has died! Please note VHSc or DV machines are not compatible with Video 8ect...


I'm also going to do other people tapes to PC as I got very good high quality transfers with converters and upscalers with Premier Pro software doing the final polishing, so I'm happy to buy a fully working old camcorder as well, the digital ones will be more beneficial as well.


Thanks for helping. Thanks everyone who's tried to help me so far!!

Hi Brendan, thanks for replying, I'd only need 7 days to do them in to transfer to my pc, so I can do 1-2 per night after work and looking after kids ect.. Perhaps that's OK for you..thanks for offering...




Perhaps I can advise you or anyone testing old machines, to test the machine with a blank tape first, then one with recorded footage later if no problems occur, so if the tape fails to eject, you haven't damaged an already prerecorded tape.


Thanks every one.

Hi


I just tested and although it is working it does cut out intermittently whilst playing the tapes but I do remember when I plugged it into my tv a couple of years ago to check the old 8mm tapes I was able to watch them via that and then got the tapes put into digital form. I understand if you don't want to take the risk seeing you have already tried with another one.


All the best

Brendan

    • I'd suggest using a Faraday pouch . Such as 2x Car Key Signal Blocker Faraday Pouch Police are too busy investigating "Non-crime hate speech" such as between kids in school.
    • Police won’t be interested as they are to busy investigating hurtful comments people have written on internet and demos which seem to be happening every weekend,well done for reporting tho and giving us the heads up to be careful 👍
    • I had my car ransacked on Wednesday night, I assumed I’d left it unlocked. It was unlocked again this morning though and I definitely locked it last night.   The car was outside my front door and the keys near the door inside so I assume this is a relay theft  issue with someone using a remote key reader. I would advise keeping keys away from the front door. I have reported to police. 
    • They plan to close the Mount Pleasant Office, absolute and utter madnesss
