Lee, He can record them directly form his 8mm camera to VHS tape if he chooses. If he wishes to edit them using movie maker, he will need to make sure that they are in a format and codec that Movie Maker can recognize. ?He should ask the people that won't to put them on CD for him for a sample of their work so he try to import it into Movie Maker first. I have to say that I am fairly disappointed in Movie Makers capabilities, you really can't do much more than rearrange or cut clips. IMHO Apples iMovie has Movie Maker beat 10 times over. I was using Movie Maker, Premier (my fave) and iMovie this morning to create an anniversary video for my wife.

I have a friend that has a bunch of 8mm family films that he would like to put on VCR or CD. He was told that because it was 8mm that there would be some problem with speed matching. I have no idea. But he did find a place I guess that can put them on CD for them but editing would cost three arms and two legs. So he wanted to know if he got them put on CD as they are, can he take them into Movie Maker or a program like that where he can edit them himself and put them on another CD? I thought he should be able to, but figured I better check as I'm not that versed in it yet. So will that work?
