Can I copy a HI8 video to DVD on my computer?
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.
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.

To transfer video from Hi8 to a PC, you'll need a Hi8 camcorder and a video capture device that connects to your computer. First, connect the camcorder's output (usually via RCA or S-Video) to the capture device, then connect the capture device to your PC via USB. Use video capture software to import the footage while playing the tape on the camcorder. Finally, save the captured video to your computer in your desired format.

There's a discussion about that here:http://www.videohelp.com/forum/archive/minidv-and-hi8-stand-alone-players-t239171.htmlYou apparently need to pay around $1000 to get a standalone Hi8 player with firewire, but people were suggesting using newer, cheap hi8 camcorders as transferring devices.

Can You Record Over old 8mm films with an 8mm camera?

How can you convert Hi 8 digital tapes to DVDs?
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 does the video storage of the Sony CCDTRV128 Hi8 Analog Handycam Camcorder compare to digital cameras that use dvd, mini dvd or hard drive to store video?

How do you convert HI-8 to standard VHS?
There is no tape adaptor to convert Hi8 tapes to VHS. There does exist such a device for VHS-C tapes which many people confuse with hi8 tapes. You can however have a hi8 player ouput video into a VCR and use the VCR to record onto a VHS tape.Connect video and audio out to the video and audio in on a VCR. Play the Hi-8 tape and hit record on the VCR.The Hi8 format is totally different than the VHS format, so anything mechanical or the like is out of the question. The nice thing is that your Hi8 camera (or player, if you have one) has video and audio outputs that are compatible with the "standard" input/output video and audio of a VHS VCR. The trick is simply to jack the Hi8 camera or player outputs directly into the VHS VCR inputs to transfer your video over to the VHS format. If you want to monitor things, hook up the video and audio outputs of the VCR to the TV or use the RF cable connector to get the signal over to your monitor. Remember to go directly from the Hi8 unit to the VCR so you don't lose signal quality.The jacks are almost all the standard RCA "phono" type ones, so cables aren't exotic or expensive. Use a fresh VHS tape for best results. In the not-too-distant future, you might be switching again - to a digital format. Start planning to do so in the next year. Arguably the best way to do this is to take advantage of advances in modern electronics, media and computer technology. Your computer can be upgraded by getting a video in/out card and using the onboard DVD burner (or one you upgrade to). Once digitized, the video can be stored as data, edited and then "burned" onto a DVD. DVD and CD life is a couple of hundred years. Digital data can be stored almost indefinitely, with some forethought and care. Best of luck with your video project.Another option is to use a video transfer service. Most convert directly to DVD but some like StashSpace.Com let you watch and edit your video online before burning it to DVD. The cost to transfer a tape at StashSpace is $7.
