My tape fit into this attachment, but then the attachment would not fit into the VHS adaptor even though I purchased them as a package on amazon. It was slightly too big. I have not been able to find an adaptor it will fit into. If you find one, let me know?!

No it won't. Don't waste your money. I ended up using Costco to transfer my mini tapes onto DVD.

This adaptor fits any mini dv tape but wont fit in a VHS/DVD player. Its designed to fit a DVC player, for playback and not to record.

No. Stop looking for a 8mm adapter, there are none. 8mm film is too small to play in your vcr and it would be much to expensive for the consumer if a company developed one. your only alternative is to hook up your 8mm camera to your vcr by rca cable and either watch or record to a blank vhs tape. Simple, cheap and it works.

This apparatus will not allow you to transfer VHS to DVD. However, that is some of the work that I do. I use a Super VHS player (noticeably higher resolution than a standard VHS player) and capture the signal with my computer using Elgato brand video capture, then I put the movie onto DVD. If you're doing this yourself, I recommend the same workflow. I hope this information helps.

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

I have done it, but it requires special software. Just Google "VHS to DVD software" and you should find some options that suit your needs.

Sony made a DV mini tape player/recorder. Model #Sony DSR-25 DVCAM MiniDV Compact Desktop Player/Recorder-Firewire-NTSC/PAL. It has analog video and sound AND DV (Digital video and sound) outputs; that you can connect to VCR's or similar devices.They are often on eBay; but they usually go for under $200.00. There are also Sony DV camcorders; but they usually sell for more than the player/recorders above.If you do not wish to record any more, then I would strongly suggest you check out the Sony DSR-25. patdee

Ita, I am sorry I can't answer your question since it has been too many years since I owned that Magnavox unit. I looked at the specifications for the unit and it looks like it should record your video tapes to the DVR disks. If you have any DVR disks you might give it a try and so what happens.

Sorry, don't really know. I have a JVC recorder to change tapes to dvd and I used two of them and does not work.

This adapter is for VHS-C tapes, which are the physically smaller version of the regular VHS tapes. This adapter allows VHS-C tapes to be played in the VHS players. The 8mm tapes are totally different in size and format, so this adapter will not work for them.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

Hi Phil, can you elaborate on the question? DVD disc cannot play on a VCR player as it needs a VHS tape. Are you trying to say if the VHS tape can covert the file to a DVD disc? (that is more of an editing question than a product question). Or are you really saying can a dvd disc play in a regular dvd player?

I just purchased this unit and have been researching the same thing. One thing I've found is that you need a "Video Enhancer" to attach to your unit. You can't use it when dubbing from the VHS-DVD or DVD-VHS within the unit; you will need a separate VHS and DVD player to attach to the 610 and run the video enhancer between the two. I'm still researching, but have found decent reviews about some companies (Grex, Sima (from World Imports), Video Filter). I'll post more info when I finally decide which one to choose and why.

I have a Magnavox recorder for several years, It records VHS and DVD'S, plays both kind, records both and record from VHS to DVD'S. In fact I have put all my VHS'S on to DVD'S. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. It still works great!

No !! they take mini Dv tapes who are very outdated and were always expensive. I have a ton of footage of my familyusing mini dv tapes. I need to tranfer them to a regular dvd so they can last longer. Im not sure how long those mini dv tapes will last.

This is a very nice converter. I have had no issues what so ever.I have not tried to convert beta tapes. I would think that if the Beta player has A/V out puts it would work. You really should "go deeper" to get a positive answer.

If you have the camera there is transfer boxes you can buy for about $30, I'm sure on amazon too. You just plug audio/video cables in and transfer anything to the computer, then burn it on DVD. I have one and it works great. If you don't have the camera there should be something that just plays the tapes, may be hard to find though. Mini DV camcorders are obsolete now, should be able to find one pretty cheap or on eBay to use for transferring tapes.
