I did say "about". My point is that they are NOT the same tapes, contrary to your claim. A Digital8/Video8/Hi8 tape will NOT fit into a MiniDV camcorder because the tape is nothing like the MiniDV tape. Have you actually seen the two types of cassettes (or done two minutes of Wiki research) or are you hypothesising?
Where's a wall. -

Video 8/HI8/Digital 8 (8mm tape size.) is not called MiniDV - Only 6mm tape size is MiniDV (MiniDVcam for PRO use.) - Very small tape for digital camcorders...
See comparison of the 2 formats here: New link: https://laur.uk/2021/05/11/digitise-video8-digital8-minidv-tapes-part-1/
DV and DVCam also comes in bigger tapes for longer playtime, they have the "DV" and "DVCam" name without the "Mini" in their names, they need big cameras, like the shoulder-borne one's or tape decks for studio/PRO use.

So are you saying "print to tape" works on premiere but not on WinDV?
Check out my HDV print to tape thread to see if you can get a tip or two, although it has a different purpose about printing progressive into HDV tapes.
Here is a follow-up thread.Last edited by dellsam34; 21st Mar 2024 at 15:00.

From the manual: "Recording video or TV programs" aka "Print to tape":
[Attachment 77859 - Click to enlarge] -
No, I was saying that it works for me now with WinDV when I press record on the Camcorder and record in WinDV.
Then I was just stating how it normally should work in Premiere. (Where Premiere controls the camera with no need to press anything on the cam.)
Why Premiere is not sending video out to the cam is still a mystery…
So now I know that it was not the camera, but Premiere that’s the problem.
My second problem with the cam recording black screen when filming, seems to be a capacitor that is faulty, but for now I don’t need it to film, I just need to use the VTR function of the camera to transfer MiniDV tapes to PC… - That function is working in both WinDV and Premiere with Firewire.
And if I need the cam to record/print to tape from the PC again, I can just use WinDV for that.Last edited by Amddurin; 21st Mar 2024 at 20:11.

Update: (Export to tape problems in "Premiere PRO 2021" solved...)
In Premiere Pro there is a checkbox "Adobe DV" – under “Edit” - “Preferences” – “Playback” – “Video Device” - that needs to be checked to allow the video to go out though firewire... (Not set as standard.)
And if the "Print to Tape"/"Export to Tape" process drops frames, then you need to change "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)" to "Mercury Playback Engine Software only" under “File” - “Project settings” – “General” - “Renderer” - Maybe this is a Nvidia thing?
