Hi folks:
I have a bunch of Hi8 tapes that I want to transfer to DVD. I have a Hi8 camcorder to play them back, but the tapes were recorded on a different camcorder that I don't have access to anymore. When I attempt to play them back on my camcorder (Canon ES8400V), they basically play like they are fastforwarding. Does this have something to do with how they were recorded originally (e.g. "long play"? I'm not very knowledgeable).
Is there any way to get around this besides trying to recover the original camcorder or trying other ones?
Thanks so much for the help.
