Default Copy 8mm film to video?

I need to copy a short section of 8mm motion picture film to electronic
format. I have finally got a working projector and rather than do a lot
of trial and error testing with various resolutions, frame rates etc.; I
thought I would ask the best way to give this a try, what to watch out
for , etc.
Thanks!

Numerous labs and/or service bureaus do this on a daily basis and your
best bet would be to have them copy it to a digital format you can
handle. The last time I did this I had it transfered to DV digital tape
which is what my camcorder of the day used and which the Mac imports
natively into iMovie. Today I suppose I'd ask for it on an SD card.
