Yes. The cheapest easiest way is a WINTV express TV card. Im not sure of the RRP as I got mine on ebay but I know they are cheap. Its a PCI card which means youll have to connect the output on your camcorder to the slot on the back of your PC Then there is an option to 'auto-record' on WINTV, and simply push play on the camcorder. The audio is recorded through your PCs normal soundcard.
Have fun!

once you've a HDD camcorder, then that camcorder likely has an A/V enter jack. if it really is the case, then optimistically your computing gadget has a video card with an S-video or RCA video output jack...seem on the back of your computing gadget the position you connect the exhibit screen cable. in case your computing gadget does have a video out jack, then only connect the camcorder to the computing gadget - positioned the camcorder right into a/V enter mode and record your computing gadget exhibit screen.

There are several ways to conect an analog camcorder to a PC
1. maybe ur video card has TV tuner ( analog input like composite or S-video ) then u can conect ur camera straight to ur video card ( on AGP or PCI Express slots )
2. buying a TV-tuner, you can find low price tv tuners nowadays
I suggest about 50 $ ( on PCI slots )
3. buying a Capture card ( like Snazzio / Pinnacle ) ,they are a little more expensive, But better quality. ( on PCI slots )
but none of these ways have a magnificent quality it's better buying a digital camcorder ( mini DV ) for the best.

the manual would be a good place to start
it should tell you what cables you need and where to plug them into you pc
usually they connect into the jack next to your monitor and your sound card or usb the disc that comes with you camcorder will have the software required to run it

you need a TV tuner card to be connected into your motherboard, then connect your camcorder to the video in connection in the TV tuner, and use the software that comes with it to record movies

yes, you need a video capture card, Hauppauge make them. You then plug the l/r audio and composite video into the card and using Nero or similar capture the playback
hope this helps :)

If your Video card has a tv/video input and you have all the files to read the format you have recorded with why not.
take care

Yes you may need a Firewire connection. If you haven't got one you can get a Firewire card at Tandy's for under $50. Good luck!
