There is no such thing as a Hi8 adaptor for playback with anything but a Hi8 player/comcorder.
I recommend converting your Hi8 tapes to digital and getting DVDs. StashSpace.Com can transfer Hi8 tapes to digital for $6.95/tape. You can get DVDs right away of your Hi8 tapes or you can go online to watch your Hi8 tapes and create customized DVDs.

answer:I don't think old 8mm film is re-writable, so I wouldn't advise it. Most film is one use only. It wasnt until compact discs or DVD were any visual recordable material re-recordable.
No, the trv260 does not play back old 8mm and hi8 tapes. The original manual states that you can record on these tapes, but that you cannot playback Hi8 tapes that were previously recorded. And if it cant playback hi8 it cannot playback the earlier 8mm.
Your sony handycam hi8 has the cables with it to plug into a tv or vcr, correct? If you have a DVD player with read/write capabilities then simply plug your cable into the DVD player, hit record and hit play and your camera and it will transfer. Another option is to use a video transfer service. Just send them the tapes and they can send you back DVDs. Some like StashSpace.Com even let you watch and edit your tapes online once they have been digitized.
in tape size yes, but D8 takes all tapes, Hi8 only Hi8 and 8mm and 8mm only 8mm tapes
Hi8 should be backward-compatible with all cameras that use Video8.
yes
The cast of Hi8 - 2011 includes: Dan Murrell as himself Mike Stebbins as Professor Jenkins Ryan Wade Howard as Anfernee Hardaway
It has been reported by some users that the application Pinnacle Studio is useful. This application allows you to convert material recorded with this camera to several multimedia formats. Moreover, CorelVideoStudio is also a good one.
You can purchase Hi8 Camcorders from your local audio-visual electrical store. Failing that, you can try online sites such as Amazon or eBay, or big department stores such as Sears.
There's a discussion about that here:http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/minidv-and-hi8-stand-alone-players-t239171.htmlYou apparently need to pay around $1000 to get a standalone Hi8 player with firewire, but people were suggesting using newer, cheap hi8 camcorders as transferring devices.
Earmark digital on 1019 16th Ave South can rent out HI8 film cameras.
The cables that you need to convert Sony handycam CCDTRV128 Hi8 tapes are AV cables. This will allow you to transfer the data into a PC and save them in digital format.?æ
