8mm film for an 8mm videocamera???

I take it you mean 8 mm film for a cine camera as opposed to a Video8 videocamera.

Or do you mean Super8 cine film?

Super 8 is still easy to find, in the UK anyway, as is video 8 but I don't think anyone makes Standard 8 anymore. Please correct me if I am wrong. The only places I know of are specialists who cut 35mm to 8mm size, but I am not sure if they do standard 8 still, this was a few years back.

Actually, just realised that he mentions "processing"... so I guess not...

ummm, to tell you the truth i dont know the difference, i bought an 8mm camera on ebay and i was curious what i needed to feed into it filmwise to record and where i could buy it.

If it's standard 8mm I think you're out of luck as the film is not manufactured anymore. If it's Super 8 (cartidges), you can still get the film through Kodak.

Another site with useful information for you would be: http://www.pro8mm.com/
although it's geared more towards the professional Super 8 user.
