5.0 out of 5 stars Mistaken Identity, November 10, 2007

By	DL "DL" (NH) - See all my reviews

Product did not work for me but I gave 5 stars so as not to penalize the overall product status since it appears to work for those who actually bought it for the correct cartridge type. I was looking for a product which would allow me to view my 8mm video catridges, without the camcorder, and a search directed me to this product. For whatever reason , it wasn't clear that there is no product for the 8mm video cartridges except a camcorder. While Amazon was terrific about the return procedure, I discovered I am not the only one who has made this mistake. It may save buyers time, and sellers money, if the seller made it clear what cartridges can not be played in this handy gadget. I learned what the "C" stood for only after the product did not work. In looking at the product advertisement again, it is not clear that the "C" indicates a specific type of cartridge. It is easily interpreted as part of the name of the product. I am satisfied with policies for return and how that was all carried out. Thank you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it's supposed to., July 10, 2006

By	Scott Peterson "Cameras'n'Stuff" (Exact center of the U.S.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This adapter is much better than the ones which don't take a battery. The difference is the other type manually pulls out the tape with a set of rollers when it's closed, and that can screw the tape up. The battery model I believe is also better at rewinding, the manual ones always drag down my VCR when I've tried it in the adapter.

For the reviewer below, they don't make 8mm adapters. Vhs-C is nothing more than a small-scale VHS tape, which is why they can make these adapters. The best way to get 8mm tapes copied on VHS tapes is to use the camcorder as a tape deck and connect it to a VCR's input, and record it from there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vhc adapter, February 24, 2006

By	Christopher Roco - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very good quality, been around for a long time and never lost its nich. Recommmend for small vhc tapes and the price was low if not the best. Other websites will sell this for more money, but this is the most effective and inexpensive item. Highly recommend if hesitant.
