There are services available that will do this for you. Try "Googling" convert 8mm to DVD. Or you could do it yourself. I just projected my movies on a white matte card taped to the wall, and recorded using my camcorder mounted on a tripod. I then edited the video on my computer and add music and titling. The movies actually turned out pretty well. I even scanned a bunch of old pictures and made a slideshow out of them that I included on the DVD.
