Does your computer have firewire? If it does, you could get an external burner and it would be hot swappable( you can plug and unplug it with restating the computer). For burners I really like TDK and I just got an LG 16x DVD-R+R/RW,Dual layer burner which seems pretty good. Does your Hi8 camera have firewire? If it does you can upload to your comp direct from the camera. Software is a toughy for me to answer cause all of my work is done on Macs and has been for a long time, so I dont know alot about whats good for PCs software wise. Maybe something from ULEAD, Pinnacle, and Adobe has Premiere elements, which is easier to use than pro but there is still a learning curve.
