As per your question, the answer is "yes" but you need to acquire something else.

If you have a firewire port on your computer I would then connect the S-VIDEO cable to a Canopus ADVC-110 (along with the audio) which would then be connected to your PC 1394 port.

Make sure the S-VIDEO cable is long enough but not too long. Unfortunately, the S-VIDEO signal is not as sharp as the DV signal. What I've experimented it only get worst if your cable is way to long.

Good Luck!
