I have a Sony Handycam Hi8 trv59E model which I have had for years now. I would like to transfer the tape recordings to my laptop in order that I can then put the films onto a DVD. I have a Toshiba laptop computer. I was checking YouTube and there was a guy using a device called a Dazzle USB capture device. 

my camcorder came with a yellow and black cable with a miniplug on the end (which came with the camcorder) 

What I would like to know is would a USB capture device work with my camcorder and where could I purchase one and does the software come with the device. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated as I am going to Italy in October for a holiday and want to be able to get film onto DVD when I get back. thanks.
