Can I get stuff from my Hi8 Camcorder, to my comp?

This is the ultimate question lol. I will find the model in a sec, and just wanting someone to look to see if it is at all possible for me to get vids from there, to my computer, to then later upload.

My camcorder looks like the rest of the Hi8's on there, but they must no longer sell it anymore. Its not even in the "Archived Camcorders"!.

Samsung SCL-810. Thats my baby lol. Would be about the coolest thing ever if anyone could find out for me.

Whatever brand you have makes no difference. There's no way to connect it as you can with a Digital8 or MiniDV camera(using iLink/firewire/DV) You must get an analog capture card and go though that. You can find them most anywhere. Or, you can get a Digital8 camera as they can read Hi8 tapes and export them though DV
