Why wont my Dazzle DVD recorder record my video from my old hi8 video camcorder?

Question

Tell me what I'm doing wrong... i have an analog Hi8 video camera:

-I selected the 'Dazzle DVC' video source

-selected 'Hard disk folder' as my DVD burner

-didn't include menus

-and selected a recording time

when i click start recording...i play my video on my camera but it doesn't show on the screen!

i have the s-video hook up, changed the options to s-video(even tried changing it to composite)...and still nothing shows up!

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

Try using the red white and yellow cords, make sure your camcorder is in playback mode. It would help if we knew what editing software you are using. All software is different, have you consulted the help section of the program. My dazzle is an analog video converter, not a recorder, so I'm confused by your terminology too.
