Is there a computer connection cord for my old camcorder?

I have a Sony Video Camera Recorder, Model No. CCD-TRV15. It records onto 8mm tapes. I have a DVD/VHS player that can also convert VHS tapes to DVD, but it is too expensive to get Wal-Mart or another company to convert the 8mm tapes to VHS and then DVD. So my questions are: 1. Is there a cord I can use to connect the camcorder to the computer? I know that this camera is so old these may not even exist... and 2. Is there a cheap, but reliable, machine of some sort that I can use to transfer 8mm tapes to DVD or to my computer?

Thanks so much for your input!

Answer
Connect the AV-out from the camcorder to an "analog/digital converter". The A/D converter connects to the computer. Elgato, Roxio and lots of others make them. The better ones cost more becasue they work better.
