Send your tapes to a video transfer service. They will have a Hi8 player and be able to convert your tapes to DVD. Some, even have the option for you to edit online or get digital files back on a portable hard drive. StashSpace.Com can do this for $7 a tape. http://www.stashspace.com/video-transfer/hi8-dvd-transfer.stm

Another option is to borrow or purchase a Hi8 player from a friend. However, in this case you still need a video capture device to convert the analog signal to digital.

If you want to convert a Hi8 or standard 8 tape to DVD, you MUST have a player.

* If you only have one or two tapes, then try to borrow a friends, or purchase a Hi8 camera. * There are plenty of folk willing to do the conversion for you ... for a price. Anywhere from $5 to $10 per tape. * If you have lots and lots of tape, consider purchasing a tape player, not a camera.

I have a lot of Hi8 tape I need to covert, so I'm looking at purchasing a player.

While you're at it, you might want the files converted to MPEG4 or DIVX, as this allows for high quality at a small file size. I plan to convert all files to both MPEG4 (for future editing) and MPEG2 (which is used to create standard DVDs).

How do you watch Hi-8 videos when camera is broken?

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.

Hi, Open reel tapes are equivelent to tapes like used on the older reel to reel tape recorders. They used to have open reel tapes for audio and video recorders. Many are still in use today.
