Puts me in mind of Paranormal Activity 3. in which they apparently had full blown widescreen HD video cameras...in 1988. Yeeeeah as one who was using Sony Video8 Handycams at the time, which were considered cutting edge at the time, gonna have to question that! (Still my fave of the series though)

Hi8 has the worst longevity of any format. When my dad died in 2000, we tried to import 10-yr old tapes for his funeral, and 10% were unplayable.

How do you think they do at 25 years old? 35?

If you know anyone with Hi8 or Video8 tapes, tell them to transfer soon!

[November 11th, 1985] John Lennon releases his video album "Imagine" on VHS, Video8, and Laserdisc

It is. It’s only suitable for VHS, Beta & Video8 / Hi 8

Has a vacuum filter to suck the mould in.

While it’s not always Fuji Tapes with mould, nearly all Fujis do have mould or have gone sticky. Especially Video8 / Hi8 - so thin it breaks easily, it’s hard to save

Have spent 2 hours manually winding & cleaning 2 Hi8 Tapes

SUCCESS this time

Get your Tapes done ASAP, before it’s too late!

They had 1 or 2 Japanese Video8 releases on display when I saw the exhibit. Actually what made me look into JP market anime Video8 releases, as before I was really under the impression the format was more of a US thing.

Huh, apparently Sailor Moon was released on Video8 in Japan. Neat.

Un caméscope video8 avec une carte d’acquisition composite sur PC. Par contre il faut que le caméscope soit en état de marche et que les cassettes soient en état d’être lues.

There was a time I would have killed for that Video8 TV/VCR.

That time is still now. Prepare to duel.

Ain't touching that, worked fine last time I checked. Could do with a clean, I'd wager. Hmm. Why do I think I have a video8 cleaning cassette somewhere...

It'll be on Video8/Hi8... I've got to see if the camera still works first...

I went on a course with Kodak for a week when they came out. Learning how they worked and how to sell them. Plus, my first go with a Video8 camera, which Kodak dabbled in as well.
