Sure it's possible, but you will probably have to pay to get the 
results you want. To avoid getting annoying flickers and bars across 
the screen you need special equipment. The reason for this is that 
American TV is about 30 frames per second and Super8 film is (I think) 
24 frames per second. This means that the frame rate cannot be 
synchronized, and special methods are used to get around the problem.

There are plenty of places that'll do the conversion. Just Google on 
super8 digital convert to find dozens of them. There are a few places 
in Louisville that do it too.
