Digital8 to DVD Transfers - About 8mm Video Formats

If you shot video through the 1990s and into the millenium, there is a good chance you have tapes in an 8mm video format. The 8mm video format was introduced in the late 1980s by Sony, providing a noticeable quality upgrade over VHS and quickly replaced it as the most popular consumer format. The 8mm video format was updated by Sony twice - first to the Hi8 Video format, and in the mid 1990s to the Digital8 Format.

Unfortunately, as new digital technologies became available in the 2000s, many consumers upgraded their 8mm Camcorders to MiniDV Camcorder, MicroMV Camcorders, and even Hard Drive Camcorders. 8mm camcorders and 8mm players have become scarce, leaving many people with memories stuck on their 8mm videotapes they can no longer watch.

Unfortunately, 8mm videotapes degrade over time just like all other formats of analog videotapes, leaving your memories in danger of being lost. Another major drawback is that there was never an inexpensive 8mm video player ever produced, so in order to watch your videos, you needed to replay the tapes back on your 8mm camcorder, causing unnecessary wear on the camcorder video heads.

But we are here to help. With RetroMedia there is no need to buy an expensive 8mm player to convert your Digital8 to DVD. Just place an order and send your 8mm tapes to RetroMedia and let us convert them for you!
