Answer 1

I am not sure about the exact model of your Hi8 camera. But I am sure that you can transafer the Pictures (Stills) to your computer using a USB cable. But not sure about the video. Why do you want to put the hi8 video to your computer as they are not digital..? The quality is going to be the same. If you are just planning to transfer all the old hi8 movies to a DVD, I will recommend you to buy an external DVD burner with Audio/Video IN.

Answer 2

You need to get a USB cable for it. GO to radio shack or something (not sure if those are everywhere). Tell them what kind of camera you have and what you want to do, and they'll be able to show you which USB cable you need.
