Camcorder Problems


I have a SONY Handycam Digital 8 DCR-TRV260 and I've had it for several years now. But recently it has started giving me problems. When I playback things that I've recorded it jolts and pauses (if I get any feedback at all.) Sometimes it doesn't even show anything at all, even though the tapes I tried it with were full tapes. Anybody have any similar problems? Do I just need a new camcorder?

If I do need a new camera is there any way to upload the videos onto my PC without the camera? They are digital 8 tapes.
