As it's Hi8 it will be analogue.
In order to get the video on to the pc, you need to use either a graphics
card which has video in/out (VIVO) capability, or purchase either an
internal analogue capture card or external device.

These will capture the video as a digital signal, thus you can import into
MM and edit straight away. If you use the graphics card route you often need
to convert the movie into an avi file before editing.
