I need to transfer 8mm tapes from a Sony handycam to DVDs. Will this work for that?

No it cannot do that you will need to transfer them to a digital file and burn a master off you're computer. This just makes copys ; it works good although.

yes! use audio video cables(red,white,and yellow). connect the cables to your cam and plug them into the audio video connections(in)on a dvd recorder (toshiba or magnavox)!

I've been using it with both Hi8 and 8mm to transfer my oldies to DVD, and it works fine for both.

Mine works. Kind of fragile. For the price it is ok. Less expensive than sending tapes out to convert.

Not sure...i used it for my European VCR and it worked fine with my European video cassettes. As for DVDs, I purchased a code-free DVR (multi-region DVD player) so I can't give you an answer

I believe so. I have a number of different 8mm Sony camcorders i,e. regular 8, Hi8 and digital 8. They all use the same cassettes. At least that's been my experience.

It is a fact. There are no 8-mm to vhs adapter. If it were, it would be far more expensive than the price of a vcr. That type of devise would have to consist of your 8-mm tape, vhs tape, electronic components and all be compact enough to fit into a vhs size adapter. Price ? Go figure.

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

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.

I've not had experience with 8mm videotape so I can't comment on them, however, my understanding of this stabilizer is that it will allow copying when macrovision is present on the source tape. I assume you are wishing to copy tapes that are not copy protected. If so, I would be skeptical that this device would help. Good luck with your transfer. Ficus

This camera did not work with my 8 mm tapes. I had to return and they charged me 35% to accept it back (they said that it was due to handling to restock again???). Take care. Anyhow, finally I send my tapes to be converted to digital and ... no more need for 8 mm.

Maggie, the adapter can only be used for vhs-c tapes not for 8mm cassettes, hope this helps, Sock

The Answer Is YES: Maxell 8 mm Video Cassette Taps Will Work On Any Video Equipment That Bears the "8" Mark. That Includes The Maxell GX-MP High Quality Tapes Pictured.

yes it does play 8mm analog tape it is not a digital camcorder. I purchased this to transfer over old 8mm analog video to digital DVDs
