8mm cassettes are small videocassettes used for recording and playback of analog video. They were introduced in the late 1980s as an improvement over the earlier video formats such as VHS and Betamax.
8mm cassettes use a narrow tape that is 8mm wide. The tape is wound on a single spindle and enclosed in a plastic cassette shell. The cassette is roughly the same size as a standard audio cassette, making it easy to transport and store.
The most popular variant of the 8mm cassette was the Video8 format, which was introduced by Sony in 1985. Another variant, Hi8, was introduced in 1989 and offered higher resolution and improved audio recording.
8mm cassettes were widely used by consumers for home video recording and playback. They were also used by professionals for recording and broadcasting events such as weddings and sports competitions.
However, as digital technology improved, analog formats such as 8mm cassettes became obsolete. Today, digital video formats such as DVD, Blu-Ray, and online streaming have largely replaced analog formats for video recording and playback.
