you need to buy a firewire cable and have an editing program. If you don't then forget about editing video. You want to upload analog video into a digital environment. That's not going to happen. Your computer will never see the rca connections. You'll need an analog to digital converter for this..., cheap is Dazzle, tons better is one from canopus

Thanks
