I'm no Canon expert, but these basic guidelines should help.
Theoretically it should work. Practically, it depends on the type of camcorder you use. First of all, are you able to capture footage directly from your camcorder using a prerecorded tape? Perhaps there is faulty cabling. Some A/V connectors on camcorders are output only. So scratch that idea if it's the case. Some camcorders don't have pass-thru functionality. There are settings in your menus to select the function of the A/V I/Os. Again, that depends on the camcorder. Also, and I assume it was this way, put the camcorder in VTR mode, not Camera.
And there is of course the Macrovision protection. If you are attempting to capture footage from a commercial DVD, it is quite possible that the camcorder itself is fitted with the Macrovision filter.
Anyway, those are starter pointers. Another solution is to google a DVD ripper, and rip the whole disk onto your hard drive.
