Does it have video connections? If so you need a card to go in you PC to record the video output.

the quality of Hi8 is exactly the same as miniDV.

just in a larger package...there will probably be a firewire port on it somewhere, get a firewire card in your pc and its easy to transfer the footage.

Or get yourself a Dazzle device. It plugs into a USB, and takes an analogue signal from a camcorder or camera, and converts it to digital.
