You could find someone with a stand-alone DVD burner, hook up the Hi-8 to it and burn a DVD of your footage. Then use the DVD to import to your computer (assuming your computer has a DVD player). Of course, I really don't know how to capture clips from a DVD. I'm sure there's some way or some software that can help.
Or you could just do linear editing and hook the Hi-8 up to a VCR. Play your scene, hit record on the VCR, pause the VCR when scene is over, que up the next scene on the Hi-8, play it, unpause the VCR...repeat. Wow...I've forgotten what a pain this is.
Christmas is just around the corner too.....maybe Santa will hook you up....
