iMovie imports the entire 8mm tape as one single video which cannot be cut up by iMovie. Once on my iMAC, I am using several software tools in order to cut up the videos into specific events (my 30-60 min tapes typically have many different events that often stretch over months). I am using RCA plugs for the audio and S-Video jack for the video transfer from the camcorder. I am successfully (and easily) using the Canopus ADVC110 to connect my Sony Hi8mm camcorder to my iMac via firewire.
