hi 8 tapes to dvd ?? help

[daviey boy]

hello im a total noob to this so here goes,, i have searched the net but cant seem to find an exact answer ? i have a medion cam corder 80324 which has a built in digital signal processor i guess this means it will change to mpeg or similar file ?.. it has s video 4 pin port and also a av output with a scart that goes to tv . my problem is im trying to get from the tape to dvd using my computer , i have firewire ports included on my pc . can i buy such a lead that goes from svid to firwire or av to firewire ? would this work as the signal has been converted with the processor on the cam corder or am i thinkin wrong and can i even buy such a lead ?? or do i need to run the cam into something like moviebox dv or dazzle . please help thanks
i have looked into buying a dvd recorder and am aware of this option but i wanto be able to edit an author
