see Section 3. Analog video capturing
you would need an AV capture device such as this:

i think i answered this already.. anyway i'll answer again just in case
you will need a video capture card (so your computer will have rca inputs) and a video capture software that will work with it. Once you have those installed, setup your camcorder like you would plug it into the tv - hook up the cables and put it in vcr or playback mode. Plug the other end of the cable to your video capture card. Run the capture software and ready it for recording. Then just playback on your camcorder and run the software to record.
regarding the capture card and software, it would be best to consult with your local computer shop/dealer on what would be compatible with the computer you have now.

You need to get a PCI capture card from Dazzel or Turtle Beach or a lesser quality USB capture card from Turtle Beach.
