Have some SVHS-C tapes and want to import for editing . .

[spcascade]

Hi
New to the forum. Not sure if this is the proper sub category to ask this question. I have three SVHS-C tapes to convert. I see on ebay that you can buy the VHS-C to VHS adapter cases. My question is will they work to convert SVHS-C tapes? I'm thinking this may not work as I remember SHVS tapes wouldn't play on a VHS machine.

Any assistance much appreciated.

Found what I needed on ebay . . the adapters do in fact work with SHVS-C along with VHS-C . . . just had to dig a little deeper to confirm.

Maybe you should post a link to this 'magic' adapter

I believe the op means that the adapters work with the svhs-c physically in that they can fit in,as to playing in a vhs it can only be done if the machine has svhs playback.

Exactly. But the OP has not made clear the capabilities of his playback machine.

He will find out.
