I have an old mini VHS from a videp camera, no video camera anymore and I want to play it!?

Question

I have been to walmart etc, and they have the VHS tapes that you can put them into, but the one that I have DOES NOT fit it. (On the label it says something like not with sony vmm8 or something like that and thats what mine is) I would like to put it on my Mac computer, but at the least on a VHS tape. Please use as simple explanation as possible because I am not familiar with this at all!

Answer 1

If wal mart  VHS adapter didnt took your cassette means your cassette is 8mm cassette..8mm  is very different than compact VHS .8 mm could not go in any Adapters so you will need 8mm camcorder plus a capture device to connect it to PC.

Answer 2

you will need to play the tape in either another video8 camera or a video8 player. since you only have to make the transfer once, maybe you can find a friend or relative that has one to loan for a day or two.
