Answer 3

you should be able to use your original hi8 cam to transfer to mini dv or dvd recorder.

don't forget hi8 is analogue and you can use a digital cam to 'digitize' the footage.

good luck!

Answer 4

is it possible to get a video capture card? they are not expensive and you can either connect threw rca or s-video.

i know USB is c**p when it comes to importing video and firewire is the way to go.

but if you can find one of those video capture cards or read up about the import qaulity that would work.

EDIT: Sorry didnt understand your question at first. check your audio in puts on your computer and see if there on and working  if that doesnt work try installing either your capture card again and camera software.
