I would check to see if the correct sync pulses are getting to the servo processor firstly.

If you ran it through that many 8mm players, I'm going to say that the tape has something wrong with it.
You can see visually if there is anything wrong with the tape by releasing the cover by moving the tape and visually inspect the tape for anything that could be frayed. Usually you can see it on the bottom of the tape.
Sometimes the takeup can be messed up in the tape too. Once you release the tape cover, you can turn the white wheels to see if there is any slack in them.
Good luck on that.

OK well when this happens it means that the special extra set of "Heads" that are used to play the hi 8 tapes is faulty and needs to be replaced. This is a common thing for these types of units. This is NOT a task for the uninitiated at all, it is a very difficult and fiddly task even for a professional.
So accordingly the best way to effect a repair is to get it done by a professional. You need to contact a Samsung head or local office and ask them for a referral to an authorised service center. Now make contact here and then when in face to face contact, then only first ask for a 'Quote" as to the costings of any prospective repairs and got from there?
