Is there anyway I can run a cable from my tv into my computer and just do it that way without buying something. I just need to record a few things a class.

No.

The macbook doesn't have a video input, the mini DVI port is output only. (Actually very few computers come with built-in video input.)

If you have a digital camcorder you might be able to pass through an analog video signal from your tv or vcr using its firewire connection.
