Talk:Digital8

message: I'd like to know if I can playback a 8mm tape recording that was made on Sony Digital8 Candorder (TRV280) on a different Sony Digital Cam Model (i.e TRV140).
As you know the Digital8 cammorders encode digital format to a 8mm tape so not just any 8mm analog player will work. I would think that Sony would keep the same encoding standards across their Digital HandyCams but I wanted to ask if anyone out there has been in the same situation need to get recording off a 8mm digital HandyCam.

message: How will the Digital 8 recording appear?  Is it similar to my attempts to record Digital VHS onto standard VHS?  (It works, but with lots of pixelation.)  The article does not say WHY using Video 8 tapes is discouraged, and it should.  It should also state where the recommendation comes from (Sony?  A hobbyist?  Or merely original research?). -  Theaveng 16:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I was using D8 in my high school film class (I still have the tapes, and they are definitely D8), and I left high school in '98, so the format must be from at least '98, probably '97.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.245.138 (talk) 15:22, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "D8" can also refer to Data 8, which predates Digital8 by several years. Although intended for use in computer tape drives, Data 8 tapes also work perfectly in analogue Video8 machines, so I'm guessing this is what you used in 1997? 193.113.37.9 (talk) 10:57, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Should we not change the "The future of the Digital 8 format is in question" to "Sony has discontinued manufacturing digital8 camcorders and VCRs"
and "Digital8 (or D8) is a consumer digital recording videocassette"  to Digital 8 "WAS a digital recording videocassette"?   I don't think anyone has made D8 equipment for years.... Mateck (talk) 20:45, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
