Your camcorder is an old Hi8 analogue model - PC's only work in digital. Therefore you need a way of converting the video to digital so you can get it onto the PC.
There are the fairly cheap USB2.0 options such as Dazzle (link pinched from a post by senu in another thread ) that can give fairly good results. If you want the best possible quality then you are looking at more money for something like the Canopus ADVC Converters.

Were the old tapes recorded in LP? If so then there is a good chance that another camcorder wont be compatible with the LP mode your old cam used.
