I have a Sony video 8 camcorder and am looking for an adapter to fit the tapes to VHS for conversion to digital...is there such a thing, and where can I get one?

Answer
No.

The only VHS tape adapter is for VHS-C (compact) to full sized VHS.

Your options are

1) find a Video8 camcorder with its AV cables and get an analog/digital converter (Pinnacle - Dazzle; Roxio, Hauppage, Canopus, among many others) and do the digitizing yourself...

or

2) contact a local video transfer business and have them do what you need...

What tapes are compatible with a Sony Handycam Video 8 CCD-TR94 Camcorder?

Plethora

Hello,

I am selling a Sony Handycam Video 8 CCD-TR94 Camcorder. A buyer was inquiring about what tapes are compatible with it. I was not sure, so I contacted a Sony representative. She told me it only uses standard 8mm tapes, and not digital ones. The only thing is I am confused because the camcorder has digital 8 format, and is a digital camcorder. So I would think it uses digital tapes. Please help me.

Also, do any 8mm tapes work for it? And, will it playback any 8mm tapes?

Answer
According to the camera manual is states:

Usable cassette: 8mm video format cassette (standard 8mm).
