Hello, I have this camera but never tried 8mm tapes. According to K. Stuckey "kateling" review on Amazon website at (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-CCDTRV128-Handycam-Camcorder-Optical/product-reviews/B0001BW0UG/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?showViewpoints=1), It can use regular 8MM tapes, Hi8 or Digital8. I hope this helps.

I looked up the model that you referenced and could not find the specs on it. But, as long as it's a vhs-c recorder this item will work for playback in a normal vhs player.

Hi, sony DCR-TRV310 is high end and plays any tapes (8mm, Hi8 as well as digital8). Take care, Norman. 310-968 0555 east coast

As long as the camcorder is a Hi8 video camcorder, these tapes( 8 mm High Quality=Hi8) should and will work.

I uploaded mine to my computer then from there I burned to a dvd disc. Verified they were on the dvd and discarded the 8mm tapes. Its been awhile since I now have a different camera.

Yes it will but, you must use the Lorex player to view the videos. There is a way to convert the recorded videos to avi format but I haven't been pleased with the results.

It should work in it, but for video, you may want a larger capacity GB! I would check your manual and see how big of a GB it will record on, and use the biggest! You wouldn't want to have to miss anything by not having enough memory to record it!

I purchased this camcorder for viewing and digitizing old home videos from 8 mm analog tapes (hi 8). It worked well for this, just be aware that it will not play digital 8mm.

Yes, it does. We have used this camera for quite a few years and are quite pleased with it. I believe cameras using tapes instead of memory chips are not being manufactured.

It does offer variable speed slow and fast playback, from 1/16 to 32x, but no audio at other than normal speed. I used to have a VHS machine with the feature you describe and I used it for watching things like the news, but I can't imagine wanting to watch movies like that? But good luck with your search just the same.

Yes. I only use Sony MP 120, 8 mm video cassettes since they are the most compatable with a Sony camcorder.

I had the same problem. NO this camera will only play digital recordings. I wound up buying an old camera to play my analog tapes and used it to transfer my analog tapes to DVD's. cheaper in the long run.

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

I honestly don't know. I am a 66 year old grandmother and just use it for looking at the early 8mm tapes of my granddaughter over the years. I also still use it to tape events as I have found that the 8mm tapes are still much better than the digital as far as visual quality. And we all like to watch the tape on our older TV that has the AV connections. It is easy for me and I don't have to have 4 different "clickers" to make make sure every other component is on and on right setting. I don't have the patience anymore! I enjoy the video camcorder for the exact purpose I ordered it. Good luck to you. I honestly don't know.

No. Just on vhs-c. Also 8 mm is a totally different format. Hope that helps

The answer is....As long as the memory card you use in it. The bigger the card the longer the video. The video on this camera is 1080 and the resolution is outstanding clear. I sed a 32GB card and I can record hours of video clips.
