Professional Hi8 Camera Tapes
Mini DV and Digital8 (Hi8) are two different tape formats and will not work in the same cameras. Please look at your camera and see if it says Mini DV tapeor Digital8 Hi 8 tape on the side and then choose the appropriate button on the left.
A Digital8 Digital Handycam camcorder can record "digitally" using either a Hi8 tapeor standard 8mm tape. Hi8 tape is recommended to achieve optimal performance. If a standard 8mm tape is used, the same camcorder should be used for recording and playback.
Hi8 tapes used for Digital8 will yield 50% of the Hi8 recording time. In other words, a 120 minute Hi8 will give you 60 minutes of Digital8 recording capacity.
