Way back when my kids were smolls (94 to 96/7) I had a video camera, Korean make I cannot remember that took the equivalent of my Dad's cine film on 8mm cassettes. They're branded as video 8.
Got maybe four or five cassettes of either 60 or 90 minute duration. Been trying to work out how to view and/or digitise/edit them.
The camera itself is kaput. Charged up the battery (NiCad) loaded cassette ant turned on but it wouldn't load and emitted considerable quantities of smoke.
ISTR there were adaptors to play them in a domestic VHS player - I have one in the loft if it works but any attempt to find such an adapter sends me down a rabbit hole of analogue (which mine will be) and digital formats.
Any attempt to locate a stand alone player sends me to 8mm film formats. I've load of that stuff too that came from Dad but that's another question for another day.
Has anybody else had the same issue and what solutions have they found?
TIA - Simon.
