Depends on the quality of computer video you want from the conversion.

If you want a very low quality, you can get a USB converter that plugs
into
the camera and the computer.  $25-$80.

If you want a high quality, like near dvd quality, it will run much
more. 
$100 and up.

If you're really, really lucky, your camera will have a digital output,
like firewire.	You would just need a firewire port and you could copy
the video directly to your computer and work it.
