In Reply to: 8mm video replay problem. posted by Jean Larroux on August 14, 2000 at 05:59:03:
: I have a number of older 8mm video tapes that will not playback in the camera. New tapes record and playback, but these older tapes seem stuck, i.e., they will not move and I think they are either fused together or something??
: They were not stored where there was excessive heat, but have not been stored in constant heat/cool and humidity controlled environment. Can these be salvaged?
The first thing which comes to mind is exposure to excessive heat, i.e., 100 degrees F and above.
