8mm Video Tape FAQ
Can you help me? I am currently looking for an 8mm VHS adapter, in which I can view my video on TV using my VCR.
Your best solution is to plug an 8mm camcorder directly into the VCR. You'll need to switch your VCR from its tuner to the AV inputs in order to get a signal from those inputs to record on tape. Plug the audio/video cables supplied with the camcorder to the AV outputs of the camcorder to the AV inputs on either front or back of the VCR. Place the tape to be copied in the camcorder, and put the blank tape in the VCR. You should be good to go!
