Movies in VHS tapes, unlike DVDs have no code zone. They are pretty universal. Do they will work fine in any country.
NO you cannot. AS video8 is digital and VHS is analog so they dont work together. The adaptor will only work with VHS-C tapes. What I would recommend is using a video transfer service to convert your video 8 tapes into a digital format. Watch and edit the digital files on your computer or get the tapes transferred to DVDs. StashSpace.Com does a good job at this, costs $7 for the transfer to digital and $10-15 for DVDs. http://www.stashspace.com/video-transfer/video-dvd-transfer.stm
The Magnavox DVD VCR Player is an excellent combo choice. It features technology that makes normal DVDs look great on modern High-Definition Televisions, and takes the "fuzziness" out of VHS tapes. The player also has the ability to convert VHS tapes into DVD format, so you can say goodbye to those outdated VHS tapes! It retails for about $350, and can be purchased online or in specialized electronic stores.
To convert VHS tapes to DVD can be done with a combination VHS and DVD unit where the DVD can record. Another way to do it is to use a DVD that hooks right up to the VCR or use a service that converts them.
A VHS to DVD converter is useful if you do not wish to purchase previously purchased VHS tapes on DVD. The only expense you need to make is for blank DVDs.
A vhs to dvd recorder may help you conver your vhs tapes to dvd media if you have the right system. I advise you to check with the salesperson before you buy anything.
No Japanese VHS tapes are real not pirated
Yes you can gerammaticly have a whole collection of vhs tapes
Most TV's have switched to DVD players and the ones that used to play VHS tapes are either broken or are not compatible with your cable company. Most places actually sell VHS to DVD converters. So, ultimately, the DVD is always better. http://vhs-to-dvd-converters-review.toptenreviews.com/
If you're technologically savvy you can certainly transfer VHS tapes to DVDs yourself. You'll need editing software and some equipment but if you're willing to invest in those you can do it yourself. There are instructional videos on sites like YouTube. If the thought of this makes you cringe or you don't want to invest the time to do it yourself then you should take it to a professional.
Yes Japanese VHS tapes are real they are not fake and not pirated
