Title: Hi8 video playback?
Post by: lsd2525 on April 15, 2019, 03:50:51 PM

I was going through a bunch of junk this weekend and found a couple of Hi8 video cassettes. I've never owned a Hi8 video camera. I have no idea what's on here, or how they came to be in my possession. Anyone have a playback system for these that wouldn't mind if I send them to you to see what's on them?

Are you sure they have anything on them?

If there is video on them, and it was recorded with a hi-8 cam, you can play them back on a hi-8 or digital-8 cam, but not on an analog 8mm cam.
