Yes the dvd-vr375 will transfer your 8mm tapes to dvd. I have done several. Plug your camcorder video cords to the DV ports in the front of the unit. Start play on your camcorder and push the record button on the front of the unit or on the remote.

Hi D., you can use the 8cm DVD+RW disc on this camcorder. It can be used for recording. -Vincent

It's not a DVD recorder- only a player so it won't record new material onto DVD like a VHS. You want a DVD recorder. There are a lot of them listed on Amazon. I don't have one personally so can't recommend one from personal experience. Good luck.

If you can hook up your camcorder directly to the DVD Recorder, you should be able to convert your mini dv tapes. You need RCA output from your source to RCA input onto the DVD recorder.

Absolutely it should play your video 8/8mm tapes just fine. The standard IS the standard. I have multiple units of both Sony and Hitachi versions of this model, which I've used for several years in my Executiuve media communication training and video production business. Great stuff! So enjoy!!

No. Stop looking for a 8mm adapter, there are none. 8mm film is too small to play in your vcr and it would be much to expensive for the consumer if a company developed one. your only alternative is to hook up your 8mm camera to your vcr by rca cable and either watch or record to a blank vhs tape. Simple, cheap and it works.

Yes it should work. At this point in time finding the "CLD" still available was a blessing. It seems that the 8MM format is going the way of VHS. Using the CLD saved my camcorder.

This adapter is for VHS-C tapes, which are the physically smaller version of the regular VHS tapes. This adapter allows VHS-C tapes to be played in the VHS players. The 8mm tapes are totally different in size and format, so this adapter will not work for them.

I do not think it will work on any DVD Recorder, just a player. If you want to risk it go ahead. I opted to buy a lense cleaning kit. See my former review. good luck.

No your camera hast to at least playback. This unit does not accept cassettes. Also please disregard some of the negative comments on here. I see several people stating that transferring analog to this unit that the picture is not so good. However, they most likely failed to put the burner into the highest quality setting to fit more on the DVD. I have used 2 different brands of VCR's, A Samsung, mini DV camcorder hooked up via firewire, a Sony CX110 HD camcorder hooked up via USB and several SD memory cards taken with a Kodak camera and have had no trouble with any transfers as of yet.

Although I was not looking for the 8mm converter, initial internet research showed most people said there was no 8mm to VHS converter unless taken to a professional. That does not make this a fact so maybe further searching will find you the answer.

YES!! I've done it with my Hi-8 video tapes. It was very simple, attaching the output from the video camera to the input on the DVD recorder. First time I tried, I forgot to select the setting for the source, and ended up with a little TV recording, but once I corrected my problem, it went very smoothly.

The type of tape is probably irrelevant because it just converts the video signal from the video out of the player. If you have a betamax player with the correct RCA/s-video jacks on the back there should not be a problem. I've connected it to all kinds of things and recorded video without any issues at all, including laserdiscs.

I had one of these sony recorders. I could not get the thing to work right. It made 1 or 2 Dvds, & that was it. I sent it back, got my money back, & never used one again. I do not think it will covert the codec( the NTSC) format, but I'm not sure. Do you have a computer? If you do, There's a huge variety of dvd direct to pc coverter systems to chose from. I'd try that.

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

This is a very nice converter. I have had no issues what so ever.I have not tried to convert beta tapes. I would think that if the Beta player has A/V out puts it would work. You really should "go deeper" to get a positive answer.

Getting videos out of a DVR is beyond me. I rip my own DVDs with mplayer / mencoder and put them on my zen. mencoder is a command line tool for linux. it seems really daunting, but once you've figured it out and set up an alias or two for it, it's just a few short keystrokes away from ripping a dvd into a .avi file you can play on the zen.
