How do I Convert old super 8 mm tape to CD or DVD

Can I get an adapter that will hookup to the back of my imac I have old 8mm videos that I would like to save to the hard drive or dvd right from the camera but I don't have a clue if it's possible. Any ideas out here?I have an old Sony Handycam it's from the late 80's early 90's.

If you know anyone with a digital 8 camera, that will do it.You can play your tapes with that and it will convert them to digital.

There are plenty of options. The best option would be to run the analog signal through an analog to digital converter. I have a lot of old Hi8 tapes that I had to convert. I used my Canon Elura 100 (a miniDV camera) to convert the signal to digital. The quality was great. After you do that, you can just run the signal to your computer through Firewire.

An example of an analog to digital converter all by itself is something like this: http://www.nextag.com/Plextor-ConvertX-External-Digital-544577796/prices-html

Although it is USB, I am sure you can find a Firewire version. I don't know what the quality will be like, but you could give it a shot.

Ok so I had the 8mm film put on to a dvd I had a professional do it. They all work great on the tv but I can't get them to play on the computer...I want edit them and remove the junk the format UDF How do I import to imovie or iDVD they don't show an option to do that........
