Is this Camcorder restricted to play only Hi 8mm or will it play standard 8mm as well?

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

This cam DOES NOT capture hi def images, or video. It is a standard def camera, so if you have a regular tv it will play just fine, if you ever upgrade to a hi def tv, your videos will play just fine also. DVD's you author with videos made from this camera will work on a standard or hi def set.

I am not sure what you mean for old tapes. You can use standard 8mm 8, or, the Hi 8 Digital tape. See the manual at: https://docs.sony.com/release/CCDTRV128.pdf good luck

This adapter only works with C type tapes . It will not work with 8mm reel type .

no its doesnt. you dont want it anyway. it ruins the video because you hear the zoom motor in the video. thats why they usually dont enable it in cameras.

My best guess is no. The MP120 and HS120 are designations I have never heard of. The 120 of course refers to length of tape 120 minutes or two hours. The only really important designation is Hi8mm. and your tapes say 8mm instead of Hi8mm. This is the reason I say: no it won't work for you. There were two formats of this size tape. 8mm is "low-band" and recorded at a frequency of 22 megahertz on the "radio frequency" spectrum (the equivalent of VHS tapes) and the advantage of the 8mm is to record on smaller sized camera and tapes. Hi8mm is "high-band" and recorded at 44.5 megahertz on the RF spectrum (equivalent to S-VHS tapes) and much larger cameras (some would even say ungainly) If I had any Low band 8mm tapes I would drop one into my Hi8mm camera to see if they play. I have played VHS tapes on an S-VHS player/recorder and they worked fine. The S-VHS player cost $1,400 in 1990 and had a lot of features not commonly available for those times. You may have to keep looking for an 8mm video camera and not a Hi8mm video camera such as this, or you could take a gamble and give it a try, how much could you possibly lose?

if your camcorder uses dvd's they will work if it uses hi8 or digital 8 they will not work...joe f.

8mm is mono, hi8 is stereo, dig8 is digital, dig8 can play all formats - same size tapes. The dig8 records 2x the speed, so a 120min hi8 tape will only be 60 min if used in a dig8 cam. So the answer would be Yes. Really if you are going to record anything get a new camcorder and record on a SD card. Hi8 tapes are not new.

Hi MM, apparently recording and playing using the projector feature of this Sony HDR-PJ790V is not supported. Once the projector of the camcorder is turned on, recording is stop and cannot be operated. -Ely

I haven't used it a lot, because I bought it to do some archiving. But it did play Hi8 fine for the short time I've used it with no problem. I didn't know there was anything else but Hi8 analog. That was what was sold years ago, and that's what I've worked with.

Yes it does Amanda. Since this Sony Camcorder supports Hi8, it is backward compatible and do play 8mm tapes. For further info, you may check on the link below for its user manual. -Elyhttps://docs.sony.com/release/CCDTRV608.PDF

On my casettes it says Hi 8 and that is on 3 different brands. If Hi 8 and 8mm are the same I would say yes. I have had my camcorder for a while and I am starting to recall one time when I bought some tapes and I think,(not sure at this time) they could have been 8 mm, which would not work as the cassette is a different size. I just know I use the Hi 8.

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.

I am not tech savvy but it shows that it uses mp 3 format. Hope this helps Kevin
