To hook an old analog camcorder to a computer you would need a device that can take your TV-out from the camcorder and pump it into your comp either over firewire, or usb. Pinnacle makes some products that do it I believe. Sadly since i'm at work my brain isn't 100% yet and I can't think of the exact name for the device...but it's basically a box with video and audio inputs that then connects to the computer and usually there is software to display, save, and compress the video
