Recommendations for 8mm film conversion/capture



I have some irreplaceable 8mm tapes taken with a RCA Pro 8 VideoCam (circa 1995).

I can view the tapes through the video cam and TV via 2 RCA connectors,

I also have a Sony DCR-HC20 (without Playthrough).

I want to convert the 8mm tapes to digital, preferably iMovie (but will get FinalCut if necessary)

I have 2 LaCie 1TB drives & a DualLevel DVD burner on my iMac G5 2Ghz.

I have 3 grandkids , 5, 6 and 9 years old.

I am looking for the best long term (2-3 years) solution.

I can buy a Canopus converter (or somesuch), or buy a newer VideoCam.

All in all, there are less than 10 8mm tapes & once they are captured to DVD, this format will be abandoned

Hopefully someone has some experience in this & can save me some false starts & $.

TIA

Dick
