Other than the video capture cards mentioned already, see if you can borrow an old Sony Digital 8 video camera.
I have one and it will play the old 8 mm camcorder tapes (I had one of those as well) and output to digital (firewire in this case). I had thought that they actually do passthrough (i.e. take an anologue signal from elsewhere, convert it to digital and output through firewire) but it didn't do that last time I tried.
Cheers
