I knew they would play the other 8 tapes that were recorded in analog by another machine.

What concerns me is when I looked at a rack of tapes in a store I saw lots of Mini DV tapes and lots of 8tapes but there were only 3 packages of tapes that said "digital 8 tapes"

I did not know if that meant those were the only tapes I could use in a Sony 460 machine to record a digital video from that machine or can I use any of the 8 tapes for digital recording?
