If you are sourcing it from a camcorder, what sort of output does it have?

it has a video and sound out. just a plain yellow cable like to connect to a TV and a sound out (white) not sure if it has any others.

You can buy a usb video capture device that will take the video and audio from the camera and save it to the computer. If you have Windows XP you can use Movie Maker to edit your movie. If not, the capture device should come with software.

Look here for capture devices. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...sp?CatId=1428&

If you're not turned off by the idea of opening your computer up, a PCI capture card is a [/i]much[/i] more cost and quality-effective method. I've had audio/video synchronization problems with those USB jobs.
