 8 mm video format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These are the original Video8 format and its improved successor Hi8 (both analog), as well as a more recent digital format known as Digital8.
Video8 was the earliest of the three formats, and is entirely analog.
Because Video8 and Hi8 are analog video formats, transferring either to computer requires digitization.

 Define Hi8 - High-band 8mm video system
Like other consumer-video systems, Video8 uses a helical-scan head-drum to read/write video to the recording media (magnetic tape.) The drum rotates at high-speed (1800 or 3600rpm) while the tape is pulled along the drum's path.
Video8 cassettes share similar size and appearance with the audiocassette, but the mechanical operation is much closer to the VHS videocassette.
In Video8, the standard-audio is modulated onto a carrier so that they can be recorded in the same manner as the video.

 Texas Commission on the Arts: Video Conservation Guide
Tape players/recorders: Decks for Video8 and Hi8 formats are still in use, are still being produced and marketed, and are readily available.
Video8 and Hi8 are referred to as 'upward compatible': Video8 tapes can be played in Hi8 decks, but tapes recorded in Hi8 will not play in standard Video8 decks.
Unfortunately, due to the size, the decks are not as durable as those of larger formats, are difficult to work on, and thus are more expensive to repair relative to their cost.

 Camcorderinfo.com Message Board - Video8 tapes in D8 camcorder
Yes, Video8 is the official brand name of the standard low-band 8mm analog video format, prior to Hi8.
Video8 tapes use regular oxyde while Hi8 and D8 tapes are "Evaporated Metal" type.
But reusing Video8 tape is risky and not worth taking a chance on losing priceless video.

 K3's AstroPhotography
For precise measurement the white parts of the test image should be set to white level by adjusting manual exposure.
But anyway, also my measurements provide a view of differences between D8, Hi8 and Video8 standards and show what can be expected from this camcorders.
It is interesting, that Video8 camera part provides better resolution than Hi8 camera part.

 VHS-C - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VHS-C was larger than Video8, but was compatible with VHS tapedecks, making the choice between the two non-obvious, and splitting the market; VHS-C also eventually crowded full-sized VHS camcorders out of the market.
Compared with Video8, VHS-C offers slightly poorer video quality and a shorter run time (most VHS-C cassettes sold hold 30 minutes of video compared to 120 minutes for a Hi8 tape being recorded in analog).
Although Video8 acquired a digital variant, Digital8, it is extremely unlikely that D-VHS will ever be adapted to a compact format, as the consumer camcorder industry (particularly VHS's inventor and main proponent, JVC) has largely standardized on MiniDV and small-format recordable DVD.

 VideoHelp.com Forum Archive - Video8 capture?
When I connect my Video8 camcorder directly to TV (via composite) picture is ok.
I’m asking cause when I capture from tuner TV (build in my TV card) in SVCD resolution and encode it with TMPGEnc (Vdubanddeinterlace) the result is almost the same as original whereas when I capture from Video8 the quality is much worse than picture which I can see connecting my camcorder to TV.
On a forum (I'm not sure if it was on that) I read that a very good solution is to record your Video8 source by DV camcorder, than transfer it to PC and finnaly make mpg.

 VideoHelp.com :: View topic - Capturing Video8 and Hi8 - guides
I totally understand that this won't be of much interest to many people but to the few who do care, maybe it will be helpful.
My belief is that Video8 should behave about the same with either deck (in terms of resolution) and instead be a good way to expose differences in DNR and TBC between the decks, rather than out-and-out resolution.
It seems to lose a tiny amount of detail, perhaps due to the NR, but on Video8 material it's barely noticable and certainly not worse than what you'd get doing NR in avisynth/virtualdub anyway.

 VHS Tapes to DVD
The Video8 tapes, as I remember, were promoted by camera salesmen everywhere as higher quality and actually were slightly better than VHS for video, but were quite a bit higher in audio.
Hi8 (Video Hi8 or High-band Video8) was the next generation of Video8 tapes.
Additionally, even though Video8 and Hi8 offered some desirable options over the VHS-C tapes it nonetheless was not VCR viewable by use of an adaptor therefore many Video8 tapes were transferred onto the full size VHS tapes.

 Video 8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Hi8 (along with VHS-C) is still used for some entry-level camcorders aimed at consumers, but elsewhere has been almost entirely superceded by digital formats, such as its successor Digital8, and miniDV.
Because Video8 and Hi8 are analouge video formats, transferring either to DVD requires digitization.
Those which also have a IEEE 1394 socket will produce a digitized signal for capture to computer.

 TR Forums :: View topic - Question about old 8mm camcorder tapes...
Anyway, the three formats seem to be: 8mm, Hi8 and Digital8.
I've seen the term Video8 also being used.
Video8 was the original 8mm video, Hi8 was an improved resolution version of Video8, and Digital8 records digital video on Hi8 media.
