It is, but not directly.

You need something to "capture" the video and convert it to PC format, like a "Video Capture Card"

There are lots of sites to help you, try searching on "Video to PC" or "Video to DVD " in Google.

Here is one example site

An append like this may be better in "Internet and Technolody" or "Film and TV" rather than Music.

The easiest way to transfer from Video to DVD is buy a DVD Recorder unit (rather than a DVD recorder in your PC) and connect the video player to that.

You can then "play" the video and record onto DVd.

Only problem is you have no editing capabilities.
