Got it.
To convert the tapes yourself, you will need to get a device that is capable of playing Hi 8 tapes, and that would probably be a new camera. You can then use a conversion software to convert the downloaded files into a DVD. You can get the full details and also this software here:

Just so you know - there are online services where you send the tapes in and they convert it for you, saves you the price of the new camcorder and the headaches of conversion. These guys will do it for under $9 a tape:
