Default Fish Camera

I have recently purchased a underwater fish camera, in which I would like to be able to record the video I capture. I was wondering if anyone knows of a cable, or method to record this video. The fish camera has a standard video out plug in on the back. I have access to a laptop, digital camera and video camera. Of all I would prefer to use the videp camera which has and s-video hookup, Dv hook up and a standard usb plug in. But if any one knows of any way to capture the video no matter what is used to do so it would be greatly appreciated. Even a method not using a laptop, or camera. Thanks for the help.

Want really cheap??? Use your already existing video camera or cell phone and record what you see on the monitor! Now that's cheap.

A guy I work with has an Aqua View and a Canon Video Camera. Apparently the model of video camera he has will accept video input, so he directly hooked up his output on the aqua view to the A/V jack on the camera and it will directly record the output of the Aqua View at a really good quality.

I tried to do this on my Canon S5 IS and it didn't work. But that is not a video camera just a camera with video function.

If anyone tries to do it, you'll need a cross over cable to go from RCA to 2.5mm (at least that's what we both needed for our Canons, may be different for other makes or models).

I'm going to keep messing around and see if I can get anything to work. I really don't want to bring my laptop fishing.
