Measure the width of the film, if it equals 8mm then you have an 8mm tape.

what is a rengen abbott and costello from the 1950 worth 8mm tape
in tape size yes, but D8 takes all tapes, Hi8 only Hi8 and 8mm and 8mm only 8mm tapes
Usually, you can only use a 8mm tape once, because on the second time around the tape, the quality starts to degrade. I recommend only using a tape once.
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.
Answer tape ideaIm not an expert, but check out this idea & expand on it.....Change your 8mm tape to standard vhs tape by using one of those "All in one transfer machines".It changes tapes, film, & cards to vhs tape & then watch on your vcr. Just a thought.
AnswerHi,No. VCR's use 1/2" tape and not 1/4" tape. And as far as I know, there are no 8mm. adapters for VS tape players. Chances are good thoug that if you do some research you may find an 8mm. player for your tapes by searching the 'net.Good luck,CubbyActually, there's an adapter that looks just like a VCR tape. You put your 8mm tape inside of the adapter cartridge and then put it in the VCR.________________________________________________________________________Well there is no such adaptors. It can be verifiably concluded that it is both mechanically and electronically impossible for a VHS (or S-VHS) VCR to play or read the information recorded on an 8mm/Hi8, or miniDV tape. Any claims to the contrary are erroneous, and must be required to be accompanied by a physical demonstration to be considered legitimate. Anyone offering such a device for sale is either mistakingly identifying a VHS-C/VHS adapter for an 8mm/VHS adapter, or they are outright scamming the consumer.

A storage tape is a high quality medium (often 8mm wide now) in a cartridge used to store backups of computer system files.

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.
