Since it's a HI-8, i'm assuming the camera doesn't have a firewire plug like on Mini-DV camcorders.
If not, you'll need a video capture card or external capture device for your computer. Back when I had an 8mm camera I bought a Dazzle brand USB capture thing. I haven't checked prices on them in years, though, since i got a mini-dv cam i haven't needed it.
you could probably rig something with a TV card, as well, but that's probably around the same price overall.
