I've used these guys before: http://www.greatlakesvideo.com/film_phot...sfers.html I needed to transfer European 8mm videotape to our standard so that I could edit it. They gave it to me on my choice of format, which was Digital8. I see they don't offer that tape format any more. They did a really nice job!
I'd take the origianl 8mm tape to this kind of outfit and have them make a digital tape of the film which you can then import into iMovie and edit, then burn using iDVD. Ripping a DVD will get you a slightly lower quality file, as the original has been compressed to be put onto a DVD.
