Convert your Hi8 Tapes to Digital

We can transfer your Hi8 camcorder tapes to DVD, MP4 or USB.

8mm (or Video8) is the original format in the 8mm video family. But not all 8mm tapes are Hi8, they could also be Video8 or Digital8, which we can also transfer.

Hi8 are very common and are labelled as such, however you can Google Hi8 tapes and compare pictures to your tapes to confirm.

Any types of Hi8 camcorder cassette tapes can be converted from to digital. Training videos, wedding videos, christening videos, sports videos, documentary videos, family videos - any type. GF Video Transfers can also transfer other tapes in the 8mm family - Video8 and Digital8.

Hi8 camcorder tapes are an old format, the quality of Hi8 is not as high quality as modern DVD, Blu-Ray or 4K formats. VHS resolution is around 288 pixels, whereas DVD is 576, Blu-Ray is 1080 and 4K is 2160 pixels.

Therefore, the analogue Hi8 quality is far below todays available digital resolutions and colours are not as rich. GF Video Transfers Hi8 to digital transfer service will get as much quality from the Video8 as possible.
