Convert Digital 8 to DVD or Digital

Convert Digital 8 to DVD The name may say digital but don’t be fooled                                          The late 90s and early 2000s were an experimental time in video tech. Technology was advancing quickly and as a result many different video formats were released within just a few years of one another. Among that string of releases came Sony’s Digital 8 recording tapes, the final progression of the 8mm Sony Handycam era. Similar to its predecessors, the Hi8 and Video 8, these tapes were about the size of a deck of playing cards. But despite the name, Digital 8 tapes were actually analog technology – a bit deceiving. As a result, these video cassette tapes will befall the same fate as every other previously released video tape format, and if left unattended, the content stored on the Digital 8’s magnetic tape will continue to deteriorate over time just like your VHS collection. So while the video encoded and stored on the tape itself may be digital, the actual tape is anything but. And simply putting the word “digital” in the name isn’t enough to alter the inevitable. But before you give up and think all hope is lost, know that your memories can be transferred and preserved – and we can help!
