I have a Hi8 video camcorder and i was wondering how you would go about importing the footage on to the computer for editing. Thanks.

What kind of output can the camera do? Does it have firewire or simply RCA (Red+Yellow)?

If it has a firewire port, you can get a firewire card and simply plug the camera in. If you have Windows XP, simply use Windows Movie Maker, or use iMovie with a Mac.

If you have only RCA output, you can use a video capture card such as this kit from Adaptec to import video onto your PC.

A few things to keep in mind: High-quality video takes up a lot of disk space. Be sure you have enough hard drive space!

Thanks. My cam is from 1994 and i think it has those jacks(yellow, white, and red) so i think it will work. right?

Yep, the yellow, white and red cables are RCA cables. It should work with the kit I mentioned above or a similar product.
