Thanks Rupert. Just to clarify, if i hook up the hard drive to themacbook and
the video camera to the hard drive, i can download the video from the
tape in the video camera to the hard drive or my macbook?
Are there specific things to look out for in the hard drive to make sure this
would work?
for example, this one says dv-rated and others don't.

Yes, you can capture video from tape to the hard drive via the
computer. But you can't connect the camera directly to the hard drive.
Or if you have a tapeless camera, you can store its files on the hard
drive, via the computer.
But if you can afford you probably want to get a bigger drive than
120GB - that sounds a lot, but with video (particularly HD) it will
fill up quite quickly. I see on Amazon.com a Lacie 120GB drive is
$90, and you can get a 1TB drive for $140. Not spending the extra $50
is a false economy.
