Hi, i have and HP Media Center PC running vista home premium. I have some input jacks for composite video and 2 audio inputs on the front panel of my computer. Is there a way to connect a video device to it, like a camera, and view it on my computer?

Yes there is
the specifics depend on the video card, and should be detailed in the helpscreens for the video card drivers
If there isnt a menu choice for the video helpscreens, look for a folder in program files with the name of the card maker, or check the card maker's web site for the online manual for the card
it is a matter of selecting the input in the video card's native player, and selecting view or save (well it is in mine) (ratheon)
