MiniDV
MiniDV’s are one of the most recent camcorder tape formats capable of recording in a higher resolution than older analogue tape formats. Click to order.
VHS
Released in 1975, the VHS tape was the first analogue tape for home use. The Era of the VHS has long since ended, and it’s becoming more and more important to transfer your old home videos to dvd or digital.
VHS-C
The VHS-C is the compact version of the VHS and was the first camcorder tape format to be released. You could play these in a VCR using a video tape adaptor.
Video8
The Video8 camcorder tape was very popular in the mid 1980’s, and was used mostly for home videos. Click to order!
Hi8
The Hi8 camcorder tape succeeded the Video8 and was very popular in the consumer camcorder tape market. Click to order.
Digital8
Released in 1999, the Digital8 camcorder tape used existing 8mm technology with the introduction of a digital signal. Click to order.
Betamax
The Betamax tape was a less popular competitor of the VHS tape, but there are still many lying around in people’s attics and cupboards waiting to be transferred to digital.
MicroMV
The MicroMV was a short lived camcorder tape format that wasn’t very popular, with the DVD taking over as the most popular video storage media.
