Autodesk's wide range of video tutorials can be accessed from their YooToob channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/3dsMaxHowTos
Keep in mind, though, that some of these tuts are for more recent versions of Max than 7 and 8! Often these videos are accompanied by project files that cannot be opened in earlier versions of Max.
Nevertheless, even the tutorials for More Modern Maxes will demonstrate principles that in most cases are still applicable in 7 and 8.
For example, their recent set of tutorials covering UV Mapping in Max show some features only available in Max 2013, and the earliest Max version the demo files can be opened in is 2010. Yet the basic concepts are all very much valid, the tutorials are both easy to understand and very thorough.
