Hello! I'm Audrey with Southtree.com. This is an 8mm tape.
It's also known by other names like: Hi8 or video8.
This format was first introduced in 1985 with a Sony Handycam.
8mm tapes typically hold around 2 hours of footage, but they can hold up to 4.
Here's how you know that you have an 8mm tape: First, they're much smaller than your standard
VCR tape. If your measuring, this tape measures a little
over a half and inch thick, 2.5 inches wide, and under 4 inches tall. Close to the stack
of Bicycle playing cards. Camcorders captured millions of moments from
birthdays, to weddings, and everything in between.
Southtree can help you relive all those memories once again.
