Windows Movie Maker is OK but its not the best thing.
I'd reccomend trying to get hold of Adobe Premier which is great and quite easy to pick up the basics of how it works.

As for your connection from the camcorder to PC. Its not by Firewall, but by Firewire thats your best option.
So see if you have a firewire port on your PC and the Camcorder itself.
Firewire PCI cards dont cost much if you need to pick one up to fit in your PC.

As for the media format. I think for ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£300 you should be able to get yourself one which takes Mini DV tapes. They are good quality and should be fine for you.

Also, make sure you have a big enough hard drive and preferably a good amount of Ram. 512 Minimum if you want to run nice and smoothly.
