I'll see what I can do, if I get time. --TangentIdea 22:14, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Ummmm....it's standard 8mm tape, which has it's own Wikipedia entry and is shown in other Wiki topics. Pzo

I have significantly edited this page for sentence/paragraph structure and added a lot of history and marketing information. Thanks for the great core, whoever did that!

[edit] What happens standard-grade Video8 tapes are used?

How will the Digital 8 recording appear? Is it similar to my attempts to record Digital VHS onto standard VHS? (It works, but with lots of pixelation.) The article does not say WHY using Video 8 tapes is discouraged, and it should. It should also state where the recommendation comes from (Sony? A hobbyist? Or merely original research?). - Theaveng 16:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PCM Hi8 Audio Playback on Digital8

What are the issues regarding using a digital8 deck to play back Hi8 footage? I have read there may be problems with Hi8 utilizing PCM audio. See http://www.openeyesvideo.com/evo9850hi8.htm

Digital8 camcorders will not access the PCM audio track. Relatively little equipment used the PCM audio system however.

I've assembled a list of the European Digital8 camcorders with analogue playback capability: http://www.video99.co.uk/Video8_Hi8_to_dvd_transfers.html If anyone has further to add to the list, please let me know. Colin99 (talk) 21:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
