Скачать или смотреть Digital8 camcorder converts Hi8 tape to DV25 before outputing S-Video analog

If you have Video8 or Hi8 tapes, you can play these back with a Hi8 camcorder or a Digital8 camcorder. They can both play the tapes. But our updated conclusion is that you should play back these tapes with a Hi8 camcorder instead of a Digital8 camcorder.

BACKGROUND
1. Using a Hi8 camcorder, an analog exits the camcorder via the S-Video port (or Composite port). Then your SD capture device digitizes it.

2. Using a Digital8 camcorder an analog signal to exits via the S-Video port (or Composite port). Then your SD capture device digitizes it.

THE PROBLEM WITH DIGITAL8 CAMCORDER PLAYBACK OF HI8 TAPE
But here is the problem. The Digital8 camcorder digitizes the video signal, and then un-digitizes it as it exits via the S-Video port (or Composite port). This unnessary extra step makes the video look worse than using a Hi8 camcorder to play back the tape.

One can see an example of this at the 4:10 mark, where the logo looks blockier in the Hi8 tape version of the video exported with a Digital8 camcorder.
