Sony Hi8 / Video 8 Camcorder Tapes from the 1980’s & 1990’s are approaching 3040 years old. Shelf life was never a factor in the design process & now decades later, these tapes are falling apart and memories are getting harder and harder to transfer with clear picture and audio. Adding to that, the influx of large corporate, mass marketed transfer companies flooding social media, google ads and email inboxes with attractive, cheap offers, sending you a box and you dump your media in there and you receive back everything digital has turned into a nightmare for thousands of people that wait 6 months with little to no correspondence, memories lost, mixed up and if you’re lucky to receive all your original media back, the tapes have stickers on them saying they could not be transferred due to age or an array of issues and for the ones transferred, people are unable to watch because of static, snow, picture in and out, audio missing and footage galore missing.
This is why anyone attempting this needs to hire a pro. Gotmemories.com
