I read this a couple of times before posting because the title was "Super 8" and then you mention its a camcorder.
Super 8 is reel to reel film, and it can be transferred with a hardware setup then pretty much use any converter software to change it into dvd once its captured. The link below describes it well.

If it is a Hi8 camcorder, and you have a tv card or video in you just need a converter if I understand this correctly. The link below is a list of free software that you should be able to find useful.

The next link is capture software just in case you dont link what came came with your hardware, free also.
