Can I use the composite A/V cables to connect my camcorder to my media center pc?

When I try to plug the cables in, it doesn’t seem to work, but it seems like there should be some setting in my media center to make me able to at least watch, if not transfer, the video camera videos on my computer.

How do I connect an ANALOG camcorder to the Media Center PC?

Hey guys and gals. I have an old Hi8 video camcorder, it only has s-video out and rca out. I have an HP Media Center PC which has an s-video in, so I simply connected the camcorder to the s-video in. How do I see or record the video onto the PC? I cant figure this out for the life of me. I dont have a “tv card” area where I can change which input to get video from. Please help.
