well im assuming that u have a digital video camera and ur running windows on ur laptop. im hoping ur running xp cos that would just make it much much easier as it should detect the new device when u turn it on.
it sounds like ur not running xp though, i guess my first question would have to be have u installed the video cameras drivers onto the laptop? are u using the software that came with the video camera to try and get video off the camera? kinda need a bit more info to be more helpful

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

In your video editor, there should be something that says "Import" usually in the file menu. Look for that, or read the directions on your editing program that shows where to import footage from a camera.

Do you have a video editing program like Adobe Premiere? Usually you have to go into that and capture clips from the camera. You dont just plug in the camera and get videos. If you have done all this then I dunno. Maybe give us a little more info on exactly what youre doing, what type of hardware youre using and what is happening.

try windows movie maker for basics, it should be easy to follow the step by step capture functions, though be careful as editing programs like premire dont like captured footage from moviemaker.
what make camera is it?, have you got the latest drivers from their website?, have you got fire wire card installed corectly?, is your cable knackard?, is your camera digital?.
xp normally picks your camera up automatically once you have plugged it in!, if it doesnt then you may have a problem unless you have double checked every thing.

is it a digital cam?
gettin video footage to a 'pooter done two ways: downloading or capturing.
if your camera is digital it may have the function to directly download footage to your box as a video file already, saving you the effort of conversion from tape format. this will likely be the case if it is a non-crap digital video camera - it will have a firewire or usb 1 or 2 cable.
if your video is not digital or it dosn't download directly to PC, then you must get a capture card to interpret the s-video/sound output of the camera into a video file. The commone mistake people make when converting s-video to digital format is inadequately de-interlacing (removing those annoying horizontal black bars that appear across playback - a problem related to the differences in vertical resolution standards of video formats)
also, icecream is very bad for your video tapes.

sometimes if you use a cheap firewire cable the connection won't be perfect (you might need to wiggle the cable around to find the right way to make it connect). that has happened to me.
so on the outside it'll look like everything connected correctly, but the computer does not recognize a new device (my miniDV camcorder). but if i push my firewire cable to the left and hold it there, it recognize it!
hope that helps?
