You want to watch an 8mm/Hi8 or miniDV tape, but you don't want to connect cables from your camcorder to your TV. So you go to a local electronics store and buy an "8mm/VHS adapter".
8mm Video Adapter to VHS: Can You Play 8mm Tapes in a VCR? | 8mm Tape Adapter to VHS
You pick up something that says it’s a VHS adapter. But to your dismay, the 8mm tape doesn’t fit. Frustrated, you demand that the salesperson provide you with a VHS adapter for 8mm tapes.
The seller replies that there is no adapter to play 8mm tapes. You reply, "But my cousin in Jersey has one, he just puts his camcorder tape in the adapter and puts it in his VCR." The seller is right.
THERE IS NO 8mm/VHS ADAPTER!
