QUESTION: Any recommendation on how to transfer 8mm film to DVD?

I've done it quite a few times. Aim the projected film at a white wall and record it with your video camera (be sure to frame properly). Then dump the video into a computer editing program via firewire, edit and color correct then make a DVD.

Thanks for the suggestion on 8mm to DVD conversion. Any way to tell if the film is going to survive a run through the projector before I do anything? My dad has some 50+ year old films.
