Hi,

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,

Cubby


Actually, 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.

How do you change VHS tape from slp to sp?

To change a VHS tape from SLP (Standard Play) to SP (Standard Play), you need to use a VCR that has the ability to record in SP mode. Simply insert the VHS tape into the VCR and set the recording mode to SP. Then, play the tape while simultaneously recording it onto a new blank VHS tape in SP mode. This process will create a new SP version of the original content from the SLP tape.

Maybe the tape was recorded in a Super-VHS recorder. Very few VCRs made could play these tapes. Perhaps the tape was recorded on a VCR whose head was far out of alignment, or maybe the tape was subjected to a strong magnetic field, which would erase it.
