There are two different kinds of 8mm camcorder formats. The first is the Hi8 analog video format while the second is the Digital8 digital format. Both use the same sized tapes, making it easy to move a tape from one device to the other (a Digital8 tape can be used in a Hi8 video camera but a Hi8 tape is unable to be used in a Digital8 camera and record in digital). If you have video content currently on one of the 8mm tape formats it is possible to upload the content to your computer. Writer Bio
