Hey, I want to upload some Videos to your tube, I have a regular Video camera, what do I need to download these to my computer so I can then upload them to yourtube? Do I have to have a digital video Camera? can I just use my cell phone? HELP...lol

By regular video camera, do you mean analog? Depending on the model, you may have a firewire cable output, or usb, or standard RCA. All that will determine how you can get it to the PC. It sounds like you have analog, so probably the little 1/8th jack with 3 channels. To go directly from there to your PC you will need a capture card (these are cheap) and software like Windows Movie Maker. Alternately, you can borrow someone's digital video camera and run it through that to a firewire or usb interface.
 
unfortunatly, most digital video cameras don't allo for transfer of video via usb, only firewire (the digital that record to tapes, not sure on the HDD cameras). if your PC has a firewire port, should just be as simple as plugging it in. if not or is an analog camera, like the guy above said, you need a video capture card. i installed one in my pc for the same reason like 6 months ago and still havent gotten motivated enough to use it. :(
 
Well, its a JVC model GR-AXM18U and it does say Digital Signal Processing.. It only has two RCA jacks, White and yellow. It was a gift, and I threw away the book and box so I know very little about it.

Ah gotcha.. The digital video processing doesn't help. The white and yellow is for your audio and video, respectively. You need a video capture card to transfer from that to your PC. Something like this...
You could also get an external one, for a few more dollars.
