To best answer your question we need to know what format the video is in? VHS, S/VHS, 8mm, Hi8 mm, Beta, etc. This tells us what sort of video capture hardware you need to get the Video onto a computer. The we need to know if you are using a PC or a MAC, desktop or laptop so we know what software is needed. you may be able to edit using the camera but that wholly depends on the camera. Sorry there is no one size fits all for this sort of thing.
