Fuji Hi8 tapes snapped after rewind in Video8 camera?
I have been given 15 Video 8 tapes to transfer. However it turns out that 3 of them are Hi8. Unfortunately I didn't realise this until I'd already tried them in my standard Sony Handycam and got these weird black lines showing up (which another user has now informed me would happen if a Hi8 tape is played in a standard video8 machine).
However, the plot thickens as upon purchasing a Hi8 camera and prior to loading the tapes I noticed that all 3 of them are snapped after been rewound in the same Sony Handycam Video 8 camera (I knew at that point they wouldn't play properly but just wanted to rewind them in the machine ready for when I received the Hi8 camera).
Anyone heard of this? The tapes in question are all Fuji Hi8 MP PS-90 and I tried to play and rewind them initially using a Sony Handycam CCD-TR420E camera, didn't realise they had (all) broken, then purchased a Sony Handycam CCD-TR748E camera in order to capture the footage.
Incidentally none of the other tapes I've tried in the Video8 camera (which were all standard Video8 tapes) have ever broken.
