              idiot

              Hopefully you purchased a MiniDV camcorder. In which case you can connect via Firewire to your computer. You will, however, need software such as Vegas Video, Adobe Premier, Ulead Videostudio, etc. to capture the video.

              If you only have those red and yellow RCQ connectors you are stuck buying a capture card and I feel sorry for you. Easy enough but who wants the extra step or having to install the damn card?
              Beat it. Nothing to see here.

                    I didnt pay for it. I got the camcorder for free.

                      Idiot,

                      Dont go with the tv crap. Get a firewire cable. You most likely already have a firewire card in your puter. So youre done with 5 bucks.

                            Unless it came with it, your gonna need to buy a i1394 Firewire cable to plug it from camera to PC. then all you need is to capture it via your favorite video software

                                    Call radioshack and ask. Tell them you got it free and when they try to hang up on you demand their district managers phone number

                                    kidding.. need a capture card..

                                    You've read it, you can't unread it.

                                            if it has usb it probably has some software to import stuff to your computer.

                                            But most probably its firewire: get yourself a cheap $30 firewire card.. plug it into your cam.. get yourself Premiere or some other
                                            video editting software and simply import a stream!

                                                  yep, no real need for a capture card really.
                                                  Not sure why you would use it either unless you had to rip from a vhs or cable tv really.

                                                      Juicy, Hi8 is ...well... so last millenium type of technology.

                                                      I thought you were asking before about where to buy miniDV tapes??

                                                      Is this a different cam??

                                                            I just looked at one of my old Sony Hi8's and it don't have even a usb jack.

                                                            Looks like you will need that video card

                                                              Now how do I import it into my pc?

                                                              It has the yellow and red tv jacks I have no clue with this..

                                                              Help.
                                                              The jacks might be hidden behind one of those plastic things that you have to open.
