   Well, since there is no electronic output from such a projector (like   
   SCART from a VHS) there should be no other way than the way movie   
   pirates use. Record it with a digital camera. I would prefer a camera   
   recording in mp4 on a sdhc card. Use a tripod.   
   It could require some try and error.   
      
   The other way could be to scan each individual 8 mm picture for   
   required meters of film. But I have never heard of software required   
   to make film out of it.   
      
   best regards
