Answer 1

Hi Josh,

You can do it with DVD Xpress.

With DVD Xpress you can transfer your video to your hard drive and then edit it if you desire. DVD Xpress comes with basic video editing software. I got mine at Sam's for $59.95.

I saw a newer model at WalMart recently. It was the DVD Xpress2. I think it was $39.95 but I am not positive. You can check one out here http://www.usb-ware.com/ads-dvd-xpress-d...

You connect the composite output of your Handycam into the DVD Xpress and connect the DVD Xpress to your computer via a USB cable.

Answer 2

go to bestbuy and buy a DVD recorder (where they sell or use to tell the VCRs) and use the standard audio/video inputs.

You can always return the unit after you're done...might charge you a 15% restocking fee.
