You can have the tapes converted to a digital format by a professional video transfer service. Alternatively, you can invest in an 8mm tape player or camcorder to view the tapes at home.
Either use an 8mm projector to view them on the 'big screen' - or - get them converted to DVDs or VHS video.
Unfortunately, there is no cable that digitally connect your computer to an 8mm camcorder.
Unfortunately, there are no adapters that will allow you to watch an 8MM tape on a VHS player. What you will need to look for is a camcorder that plays 8MM tapes; from there, you can easily hook up the camcorder to the television.
Yes, but the recording will be in a different format incompatible with US 8mm players.

Send it into a reputable camcorder service and have the capacitors changed. I have had two fixed this way.
8mm cameras are great if you are wanting to record something with a classic feel. Otherwise I would suggest VHSC for higher quality and sound.
The question here reads, can you play a Digital 8mm tape on an analog camcorder. The answer to this is NO. An analogue Video8 or Hi8 camcorder will display nothing useful if playing a tape recorded with the Digital8 standard. Only a Digital8 camcorder can play a Digital8 recording. In many cases (but certainly not all) such a Digital8 camcorder will also play analogue Video8 and Hi8 tapes. Be aware that sometimes a person will have used a tape branded as Digital8 to make recordings with a Video8 or Hi8 camcorder, and in this case the recordings ARE analogue. Another option is to convert your 8mm tapes to digital or DVDs. There are a lot of 8mm video transfer services out there that can do this for cheap. StashSpace.Com is a good one, costs $6.95 per tape and they let you watch and edit online for free. Outside USA, try a Google search for "digital8 to DVD transfers UK" or similar.
Some popular brands of 8mm camcorders include Sony, Rokinon, and Bower. You can purchase all of these products listed, as well as other 8mm camcorders, at the Best Buy website.
no need, the camcorder is that machine cam(era) (re)corder...
Usualy they come with a USB cable to hook them right in.
