I am not a mac expert, so I can't give you any details of parts. However, to take a composite video signal into the computer, you will need an analog video capture port. I believe that some macs have them but others will need an add on. USB devices are easy to buy and connect. Once you have the hardware, you need video capture software, quite possibly available as part of the mac OS but otherwise available to buy or download. The last thing you need is a big hard disk. Video eats hard disks and if you are planning to edit video, you should try to capture the video in an uncompressed format, which takes even more space that MPEG files.
