The title says it all. if you have any home videos on Sony 8mm or Hi8 tape better transfer it to DVD while you can. Sony wasn't the only manufacture guilty of this, but their tapes were much worse than some other brands. Very disappointed that some of my priceless tapes can not be played in only 16 years, and they have been stored properly. I have many old Beta format, and VHS tapes that are much older and they are fine. It is only these metal particle 8mm tapes that are the problem. My DV tapes which are ME type tape so far have been fine, but after this nightmare I am not trusting anything I have on a Sony tape
