**my teacher said the movie MUST be on a VCR tape, not a camcorder tape**

Another option might be to ask other family members to see if anyone has one lying around that you can use. Failing this you mayneed to invest in purchasing just a cheap camcorder that you can use or find a place that willhire one out to you.
Generally if you use an 8mm camcorder you shouldn't have much problems with converting the recording onto a VCR tape (hook the camcorder to a TV and video and then you play the 8mm film on the camcorder whilst hitting record on the VCR).
Alternatively, using a digital camcorder (or at least a camcorder that will allow you to import video to your PC) you can import the recording onto a PC for editing and then transfering it onto a VCR tape afterwards. An example of this can be seen at [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) where I made a recording on a digital camcorder which was imported onto my PC, edited and then transfer to VCR or a DVD (or, in this case, to Bolt).
