Good day, unfortunately the format supported is VHS-C the small VHS format, the Video 8 standard has different dimensions and recording modes, which are incompatible with VHS players or other types of players that are not Video 8 branded and therefore can only read Video 8 cassettes which have one format, unlike VHS which had 2.
Kind regards.
Hi8 cassettes do not fit into this adapter. The adapter is only compatible with VHS-C and S-VHS-C cassettes and is not suitable for Hi8, Super8, Video8 or MiniDV cassettes.
Hello RolfG
No, the adapter is only for the VHS standard.
There are no such adapter cassettes from Video 8 to VHS, as this is not technically possible. The best way to preserve old Video 8 films is probably to have them digitised by an appropriate provider. This provider transfers the film to a USB stick or hard drive so that it can be viewed comfortably on a computer etc. It is even possible that the professional video 8 cassettes can be transferred to a computer. It is even possible that the professionally created digital film file will be of slightly better quality than the original, as age-related colour defects etc. can be digitally processed and reduced. Alternatively, you can search online for a suitable used player for the Hi8 tapes.

Hello Asmaa.hentabli,
No, the Video 8 system is not compatible with the VHS system. To play 8mm tapes, you will probably have to connect the video camera directly to the TV.
