I have a Sony CCD-TRV318 HI 8 camcorder, and i was wondering what would i need or how would i hook it up thru my computer to burn my movies to a CD?

You would need some kind of video capture device. I have this one and find that it works pretty good:

How does my video camera hook up to it? Will i need to buy a special cable?

The one I have just uses RCA cables from the camera, then USB to the pc.

I tried a USB cable but it only worked for transfering pictures. You need to buy firewire:

or you can use RCA through USB:

It depends on the outputs of your camcorder.
