how can I use old camcorder for WMM

[Marcy]

Hello all! I have an older Sony 8mm camcorder.(1995)- I still have lots of
stuff recorded to those 8mm tiny tapes. have no desire to put them on a vhs
tape. prefer to get them on a DVD/CD by either WMM or some other program
(free perferably)
Is it possible to accomplish this. I dont want to be stuck in the ancient
but my camcorder is of the older kind as you can see. Do you need more info
on the model, etc?

=================================
If your main goal is to make DVD copies
of your 8mm tapes...you don't even need
a computer. A DVD Recorder like the
following example may be worth a look.

Here's one example:

However if you plan to edit your movies...
Maybe the following links will give you
some idea of what's involved.
