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,

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.
________________________________________________________________________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.
the only ones i see are for security systems.
A VCR to DVD conversation tape player ranges from $100 to $300. Individual companies charge $10 per tape
On my General Electric vcr, when i play a vhs tape in it, I can only see wavy lines that move around in all directions. I can record something but can' t see it afterwards on this player, but can see it on another player. What's wrong with the playing part of the vcr? and how can i fix it.
3 hours on a 3 hour tape, unless you run it at half speed (double play).
how do I get a stuck vhs out of the vcr????
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.
It depends on the model, see the manual for more details.
A VCR (videocassette recorder) is an electromechanical device for recording and playing back full-motion audio-visual programming on cassettes containing magnetic tape whereas a DVD player is is an optical disc technology.
it concerns the speed of the tape. If you're recording, the tape will hold more duration of (movie), but the detail will be lower. If you're playing a tape it's just a indication of the recording speed.
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.
There are no DVD/VCR combos that come with a cleaning tape, but the tapes themselves are inexpensive to purchase seperately.
