I have a CCD-FX310 Sony Video 8 Handycam bought in early 1990s. When we have tried to replay the tapes on the camera the screen on the camera is grey and the picture is noisy on the TV. I want to convert these tapes to digital but I think the camera is broken. I am wondering if there is a good way to convert these or perhaps even “clean” the camera. If anyone has any ideas that would be great. I don’t have a VCR player either.

    there are these VHS to CPU converters where you can Transfer you VHS or Mini-VH to your CPU or MAC so you can clean and edit your tapes.

    or you can buy a VHS to DVD burner?player but you will not be able to edit it if it comes out bad. I Used the first and second item i listed and both work good. Nicholas

    You can have a service do the DVDs for you for about $6.00 to $10.00 each. Or you can have the camera serviced. Another poster found it was cheaper buying a used Sony Video 8 camera off eBay. You’ll still need a analog to digital converter cable and software. Oreo
