Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks

    Your Sony D8 camcorder should also have a firewire port on the side. I suggest purchasing a firewire card (around $10 online) and use software like Pinnacle Studio DV or Adobe Premiere to capture it and encode it to mpeg2.

    Don't bother with the USB.
