Here is the easy way... There are several ways to do this but let me give you what is probably the easiest way...with no PC required. This is how I did it when I had 8mm video. Either on your camera or on a cable adapter for your camera, you have a port that says composite out or video out or av out.

Then on your vcr you have video in and audio in. On the camera side, you might have one cable that splits into multiple ends that go to the vcr. Now, all you have to do is press record on the vcr, count to 3 and press play on the camera.

Please make sure that the VCR is recording from the correct port. You may have to go into SETUP on the VCR or press the a button that says 'line-in'. Check your VCR manual or just try it.

Hope this helps.

I assume you own a 8mm camera. If it has an output to watch it on a tv you should be able to record to vhs directly. My question to you is why would you want to do this, unless someone you know doesn't have a dvd player.

You are not going to gain anything from this type of conversion, other than be able to play it on a vhs player. Putting it on a dvd will make the medium last so much longer and versatile. The cost of a dvd player isn't that much so if you are looking into sending a copy to a relative (grandparent) why not upgrade them to the newer technology at the same time.

A great gift to them along with a precious video to entertain them with. But, if you insist, you probably have an output from your 8mm video camera that you connect to your tv. To transfer your 8mm/ just follow the following steps: 1. Make sure you plug the camcorder directly into the VCR and NOT the TV.

In addition, you have to make sure that your switch your VCR from its tuner to its AV inputs in order get the signal from those inputs to record on tape. This is done with either an input select button on the VCR's remote or front of the VCR. Also, some VCRs allow you to access the AV inputs by changing the channel selection up or down until you reach AV, line, or video in.

If your VCR has both video inputs on the front and back of the VCR, the back inputs would be line one, AV1, Aux1, or video 1 and the front inputs would be line 2, AV2, Aux2, or video 2. 2. Plug the Audio/Video cables supplied with with the camcorder to the AV outputs of the Camcorder to the AV inputs on either front or back of the VCR, switch the VCR to AV-in, Line-in, or Aux in (depends of brand).

3. Put the tape to be copied in the Camcorder, and also put a blank tape in the VCR.4. Press play on the Camcorder, then press record on the VCR and you will be able to copy your tape.

4. When your recording is done, stop the VCR and the camcorder.5. After you have done this successfully and are able to play back the recording, (make sure your TV is set on the channel or input you normally watch your VCR on - change your VCR back to access its tuner so you can record regular TV shows later, if desired.

In addition to the above steps, check the owner's manual of either your Camcorder or VCR; there should be a page on copying your tapes or copying from one VCR to another (which is the same procedure). You can also watch your tape on TV at the same time it is being copied, just leave the TV set on the channel or input that you normally do when watching a video tape. Lastly, if you now own a standalone DVD recorder, you can also copy your tapes to DVD using the above process as you would with a VCR.

Copying or dubbing your camcorder tapes gives you the opportunity to cut out those boring parts and mistakes. You can send the polished copy to a friend or relative or just keep it for your own viewing.In fact, since 8mm/8/miniDV are higher resolution formats than VHS, you will make better tape copies onto VHS. Every time you copy a tape you lose quality, the better quality the source material, the better the copy.

Use this analogy: When you buy a movie at your local video store and play it on your VCR it looks much better than if you had taped that same movie off of TV. The reason: the source of the tape is a direct copy of a studio master, whereas that same master broadcast over cable or the airwaves is degraded from TV transmission aritifacts, then by the time you copy the movie, you not only copy the movie but any transmission defects along with it. Think of a tape recorded in 8mm/8/miniDV as similar to a copy from a studio master and the tape copied from another VHS master as being copied from lower resolution source material.

Now, if you are still craving a way to play your 8mm/8/miniDV tapes in some kind of player, there are solutions (but they are not cheap). There are 8mm/8/miniDV VCRs made by SONY and miniDV/S-VHS/VHS Combo VCRs made by JVC: Sources: http://hometheater.about.com/cs/vcrs/a/aa8mmtovhsa_2.htm .

Copy straight to VHS recorder I haven't done this in a long time, so I may be forgetting some necessary step. And I'm assuming you have your 8mm video camera, but that may be assuming too much. Can you hook your 8mm camera's output to the VCR's input jacks, using a 3-wire video cable (yellow for video, red for right-channel sound, white for left-channel sound)?

If so, hook them up, start the VCR recording onto a tape and then start the camera playing its tape. If you don't have an 8mm camera, you might be able to find an 8mm tape deck and do the same thing. Depending on how much you're willing to spend, you might buy a used camera or deck.

Or there are commercial services which will do it for you. Hope this is of some value.

Use a 8mm or 8 camcorder There's no adapter that will let you play a 8mm videocassette in a VHS VCR. The tape size is different, as is the recording format. To transfer to VHS, you'll need to get a camcorder that can play back the tape, then connect the video and sound output from the camera to the inputs on the VCR.8mm camcorders tend to run around $150 on eBay, so if you only have a small number of tapes, you might look for a video dubbing shop locally that can do the work or see if you can rent a camcorder from someone.

There are some 8mm VCRs, including ones by Go Video that have both 8mm and VHS slots; those may be simpler to use to copy the tapes.
