Need a fully working 90's/early 2000's camcorder player for my Video8/8mm tapes.


Pics of what i mean at the bottom post


Had a very kind person here with a machine but this is not working as well unfortunately, so I'm still on the look-out for Digital8/Video8/8mm tape as my machine like many others has died! Please note VHSc or DV machines are not compatible with Video 8ect...


I'm also going to do other people tapes to PC as I got very good high quality transfers with converters and upscalers with Premier Pro software doing the final polishing, so I'm happy to buy a fully working old camcorder as well, the digital ones will be more beneficial as well.


Thanks for helping. Thanks everyone who's tried to help me so far!!

Hi Brendan, thanks for replying, I'd only need 7 days to do them in to transfer to my pc, so I can do 1-2 per night after work and looking after kids ect.. Perhaps that's OK for you..thanks for offering...




Perhaps I can advise you or anyone testing old machines, to test the machine with a blank tape first, then one with recorded footage later if no problems occur, so if the tape fails to eject, you haven't damaged an already prerecorded tape.


Thanks every one.

Hi


I just tested and although it is working it does cut out intermittently whilst playing the tapes but I do remember when I plugged it into my tv a couple of years ago to check the old 8mm tapes I was able to watch them via that and then got the tapes put into digital form. I understand if you don't want to take the risk seeing you have already tried with another one.


All the best

Brendan

    • Good luck with this - it is getting harder than ever to do an infant observation, I did mine at a local nursery as I needed to observe a child from 9 months - 3years. Mine was weekly for 3 months, It is surprising what you can observe during that one hour. I continued to use my observational skills throughout my 21 year professional career, After I retired, I returned to University and trained as a Practice Educator and went on to have 5 students and encouraged them not just to listen but to observe their 'clients 'body languages/ environment/ relationships with others. I would urge parents/caregivers to participate - you will be surprised how much more you will understand about your child and their development,

    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
