Will Hi8 camcorder tape play on my 8mm camcorder so that I can verbs them to VHS or my computer?
Answers: No - 8mm standard tapes will play on HI8 but not the other bearing round. The HI8 format came out after the standard 8.
An extract from WIKKIPedia tosupport my estimation is below:
Hi8
To counter the introduction of the Super-VHS format, Sony introduced Video Hi8 (short for high-band Video8.) Like SVHS, Hi8 used improved recorder electronics and media-formulation to increase picture detail. In both systems, a higher-grade videotape and recording-heads allowed the placement of the luminance-carrier at a high frequency, thereby increasing luminance bandwidth. Both Hi8 and SVHS were properly rated at a luminance resolution of 420 horizontal TV/lines (566x480 surrounded by today's digital terms), a vast overhaul from their respective base-formats of 240 lines and roughly equal to laserdisc quality. Chroma resolution for both remained unaltered at approximately 50 TV/lines. All Hi8 equipment supported recording and playback of both Hi8 and birthright Video8 recordings. Video8 equipment cannot play Hi8 recordings.
