Q. I want to take home movies from 8mm video tapes, not reels, and put them onto the computer or make them into a DVD. I don't have a 8mm camcorder and my dad's broke. I know that I could go somewhere to get it done, but it's really expensive and I don't really trust anyone with my memories. Does anyone know if they make a converter or would I have to buy an old 8mm camera? Thanks!
A. Most likely you will have to buy a camera and all the cables...
How can I convert my old video hi 8 8mm camcorder tapes to edit in iMovie on my imac?
Q. Hi guys
I have loads of Hi 8, 8mm Camcorder video tapes of the family from years back and I want to bring them upto date by converting them using iMovie on my iMac.
Can anyone give me some advice on the best way to do this please.

A. Hi Kenny, and welcome to Yahoo!Answers:
As the years go by (past the "age of 8mm video"), this is a very common Question here on Y!A.
I just answered this recently, and to save some time & typing, I'll put the link to that discussion here and in my Sources below: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AridevYvsrs0ePQ6drOg3i_sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20121210010543AAB0EAx
One aspect I didn't cover in that discussion is that you'll get the best quality using a FireWire-based video capture device (as opposed to the cheaper USB models). If your iMac model has FireWire, spend $120-$200 (or more) on a good Dazzle DV-Bridge or Canopus ADVC-110 FireWire model, and you'll appreciate the quality difference.
Hopefully you still have the original Hi8 camcorder as well as the tapes, which makes things easier and less-expensive.
hope this helps,
