Is it possible to modify a videocamera to record on standard cassette tapes?

Question

I want to record video on standard audio tapes is it possible

How any links?

Answer 1

It is not. Those are audio only. You could download the video to a pc and put on vcr or dvd, but not on audio cassettes.

Answer 2

Fisher Price made a video camera that did that many many years ago, but I can't find one anywhere these days.  It only shot b&w with no audio, and the quality was absolutely horrible.

Answer 3

Not that I know of. The closest thing might be a Digital 8 tape and camera made by Sony. If if it did fit in a digital video recorder or video camera (which it won't)....I assume that the tape, the oxide on the tape, and the speed of the tape would not record an analogue or a digital signal. I wonder why you want to do a thing like this ? The information on a video tape is huge as compared to audio.....video recorders create many tracks on a tape and have overlaping and subcarriers frequiencies (the audio and the video being in the same physical location on the tape.
