Okay... first you need some way of hooking AUD/VID RCA cables to what ever your using to play the HI 8, then if you don't have a TV in or a graphics capture card you run into trouble... if this is a one time thing you can get a cheapy graphic capture card, and do it that way with whatever software come with it, or you can get one of those USB console things you always see on TV, either way you'll need some sort of hardware to get it into the computer..... your best bet is a fully equipped kinkos, and a lot of explaining... I've noticed if you give the dip$h!ts explicitly detailed instructions they are less likely to screwup...LOL I hope this helps...and no offense intended to any kinkos employees, i've just had a recent run of bad experiences.
