8mm Camcorders Analog
Reading Analog 8mm tapes with Digital 8 Camcorder?
I did some research and was under the impression that Digital 8 camcorders could read tapes recorded on an analog 8 camcorder, but when I tried this with tapes someone else recorded on an analog camcorder, my camcorder says that the tapes are playing, but no video comes through the firewire cable and no video comes up on the screen of my digital 8 camcorder. I have tried multiple tapes, and I have tried looking throught eh menus on my camcorder and nothing seems to work.
I have a Sony Handycam DCR-TRV260 NTSC
some do and some don’t. I believe the TRV280 does. I have a 260 and mine doesn’t either. I did pick up an excellent Sony analog 8 on ebay for $75 and do my conversions to digital that way. Good analog camcorders are cheap because, well, they’re analog
