Hi8, Video 8 and Digital8 to Digital Across Australia
Converting Hi8, Video 8 and Digital8 tapes to digital is one of the most frequent requests we handle across Australia. These 8mm cassettes were widely used throughout the 1990s and into the mid-2000s, capturing garage cricket matches, school concerts, family barbecues and local community events. Without a working Hi8 or Video 8 player, that footage sits entirely out of reach. Tapes To Digital transfers the recordings to MP4 files and delivers them on USB, as a download or on DVD, with your original tapes returned at the end. Have MiniDV or VHS-C as well? See our camcorder tapes to digital page for every camcorder format. Read more: why old video tapes lose quality, and how to save them.
