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.

I have a Handycam video Hi8, I would like to make home movies on my computer using my camcorder video tapes. Can I do so with this camcorder?
Yes. It can be done using a video transfer programs. You just need the camera, a transfer cable hooked to your PC and of course, the video transfer program (such as AdobePremiere).
bluetooth
Hi8 should be backward-compatible with all cameras that use Video8.
It's certainly possible, if you have the appropriate software and hardware. You need to have some way of getting the video off the HI8 tape, and then you'll need software to convert it to DVD format and burn the DVD.
USB file transfer to computer using iTunes File Sharing
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.
just plug-in
Make sure the video is in a file format that is compatible with the camcorder. Connect the PC and camcorder with the USB connections, transfer the video to the file folder that comes up when the camcorder is connected to the computer.Ê
