Your video camera, if it is a newer style (i.e. mini-DV format) will have a connection port for allowing you to transfer hi-quality video to your computer. It will likely be a IEEE 1394 Firewire connection, and if you don't already have a built-in connection port on your PC, then you can buy a card to connect to one of your PCI slots. The card will probably include the cable.
When you have connected your camera to your PC via the Firewire, your PC will recognize it (eg, with WinXP). You can then use the standard Microsoft MovieMaker to "Record" from your video camera, and onto your PC.
Typically, when downloading movies from say a mini-DV video camera, the file will be a very high quality, very LARGE (1hr approx. 12-13GB), and is an AVI file. You can then view the AVI file on your PC with a player such as Window Media Player.
Unless you have a very good and modern DVD player, you cannot just write/save this AVI file onto a DVD disc and view it in your DVD player connected to the TV...for one thing, if the file is 13GB, it will not "fit" on a single-layer 4.7GB capacity DVD data disc. Another reason is that most players, the one that connects to your TV, cannot natively play AVI files, you have to make a REAL DVD movie disc (see below).
If you want to make a DVD 'movie' disc for your player, to watch on your TV, you then need to 'produce' a movie using software such as Pinnacle Studio, ULEAD, etc...by this I mean you edit the scenes you want to shorten or exclude, add music, pictures, text frames, menus and chapters, and then you wait overnight for the rendering to process, and in the end you will have a directory structure filled with appropriate files. Then it's just a matter of copying these files to a DVD disc, and voila, you can play this in your DVD player.
Good luck.

you should seize the video into the laptop. the way you try this relies upon on the ports you've on the digital camera and the laptop. they must be well suited. As replaced into pronounced that is continually a firewire or on some cameras a usb. it may also be an analog video and audio signal. did you recognize what type of port you've for capturing video into your laptop? And what the output port on the digital camera is? in case you may digital mail me with that information i'd be able to help you extra. The digital camera guide must have the information and likely a diagram to instruct you procedures to connect it to the laptop. solid success

Use the usb cable that came with the camera and copy and paste or if your pc has a card reader just put the mem card in and copy and paste.
