I have some 8mm camcorders tapes - the camcorder doesn't work any more - how do I go about converting them onto DVD ??

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Borrow a camcorder and use DV cable.  There is no other way to do it.

What sort of a camcorder is needed ? The same one as I had or what ?

Anyone that holds the same cassette will do you.
There is no I in team, but if you look close enough you can find ME

Correct.  Also one with some kind of interface (normally DV) that can talk to your DVD recorder.

You can buy a cassette adaptor to do this . You fit the 8mm one in to a full size tape adaptor.
It then will play in your normal V.C.R. If it is the EC-45 type I have 2 of them and you can have one.
I also have a friend who could copy them at a charge.
