Can Hi8 video camera tape play contained by regular video cameras?

My friend has some Hi8 tape that had her holiday video recorded on. However they be recorded on a different video camera (of her boyfriends at the time) Now she have discovered they fit into her older video camera, however they appear to be blank...Is it true, that even if they fit, they may still not play as its an elder camera???


Answers:    Maybe her boyfriend's camera was Digital8. Digital8 camcorders use matching tapes and are backwards compatible (they can play analog Video8 and Hi8), but an elder analog camcorder won't be able to play tape recorded contained by Digital8. If they are Digital8 then you stipulation another Digital8 camcorder to play them.
There Were THREE DIFFERENT TYPES Of 8mm Camcorders. The Original REGULAR 8, Hi-8, And Digital-8 If Your Friends Camera Is A Regular 8mm It WON'T Play ANY Of The Other Types. Hi-8 Will Play 'Regular 8' & 'Hi-8' But NOT Digital-8. Most Digital-8 Cameras Will Play All Three Types. Check To See Which Type The Tapes Were Recorded In.

Good-Luck!
You need a D8 camera. There's 8mm, Hi8 and D8.
8mm cameras one and only play 8mm
Hi8 can play 8mm and Hi8
D8 can play 8mm, Hi8 and D8.
Your friend's camera probably is 8mm and the video is Hi8.
