Is This Possible? Need Help!

I have a digital video camera from Sony, (model HDV-HC1) and I really want to keep all of what I recorded in high definition quality to stay HD. Also, I really don't intend to spend a lot of my money on a multimedia software like Sony Vegas to import my video from the cassette to the computer. I am also building a new computer at the same time (multimedia PC or gaming PC).

So, what I want know is, is it possible to connect the HD camera's RGB connector to the graphics card that has a VIVO function and record whatever I am playing on the cassette to a video file like MPEG-2 or something else using nVidia's 7th generation GPU? I want to produce a high definition DVD this way, which is crucial to my side-job. Instead of spending my money on a professional multimedia software that recognizes HDV format via firewire connection, I want to buy something like 7800 GT from eVGA. So, I want to know if what I am planning to do is possible or not. Thanks.
 
Well if it has VIVO it should work.

For saving it on your PC, that is going to be a VERY VERY large file(s).

As for recording software... I have no clue there, going to have to wait for someone who does this type of stuff, all I can do is recommend Adobe Premier.
 
Yes, it's possible. But it sounds like you really want the quality to remain high...doing it the way you describe means that the digital video on the camera will have to be converted to analog video for the RGB connector, and then back to digital in the video card. Those two conversions are going to decrease the quality a lot.

Thanks for the response all of you. Did you ever try doing it yourself and saw that the quality has decreased due to two conversions? I mean is it going to be worser than the video file that was tranferred using firewire connector (if you use firewire, you get an output in DV @ 39 FPS)?
