View your 8mm on your TV or camcorder.
Manufactured and sold in the late 1980s and into the 1990s, the 8mm video format was a popular format for home videographers. With the advent and wide usage of the miniDV format in the late 1990s, 8mm format fell out of favor, then production. However, many people still have 8mm films, so viewing the medium is still common. Depending on the camcorder you have available to you, you may view an 8mm tape on a TV or directly from the camcorder.
