Analog 8mm or vhs tapes output is analog, You need to purchase and use a card to convert the analog signal to a digital one suitable for a pc. Software is needed for capturing the video and audio.

I would recommend a Hauppauge or Diamond brand device for better performance if going USB route. I use Hauppauge but with a 32 bit PD12 and that opens up a whole new world of lossless capture. HP Envy Phoenix/4thGen i7-4770(4@3.4GHz~turbo>3.9)
Nvidia GTX 960(4GB)/16GB DDR3/
Canon Vixia HV30/HF-M40/HF-M41/HF-G20/Olympus E-PL5.
Tape capture using 6 VCR, TBC-1000, Elite BVP4+, Sony D8 camcorder with TBC.
