Your old videos have a life of 5 to 10 years. Maybe a few more if you're lucky. After that, the magnetic oxide on the tape drops off, and makes the tape unviewable. This process is called "Dropoff."
On the other hand, experts believe a DVD will last 100 years, and some think DVD's will last up to 300 years. We don't know yet for obvious reasons.
This Sony videoHi8 VCR will transfer your Hi8, 8mm memories to DVD, Laptop or PC! Also a perfect VCR to view your 8mm tapes.
To transfer to DVD or VHS simply connect to a DVD recorder. To transfer to your PC or Laptop, you will need a video converter such as the ones made by EasyCap, which you can find here on ebay or elsewhere for about $20.
