Old Mini DV Camcorder movies to Vista 64 Bit

Ok, bit of a noob when it comes to video editing so heres what I am looking at doing.

I have a rather old (must be at lest 6 years) Sony video camera and I want to pull all the tapes togather and digitise them, carry out a little bit of editing and maybe archive onto DVD.

I have heard one or two programs talked about but I don't want something that costs more than £60-80.

Pinnacle studio Plus 11 seems to be in the price range but it doesn't mention Vista 64 bit compatability.
It does say Vista 32 Bit recommended ?? :confused:

Are there any other progs that will do what I want and that are easy and intuitive ?

I never liked anything from the "windows media" range.
I guess as its already installed I could give it a bash....open it from the media centre ?

i never edit videos as such, i just cut bits off and maybe add shading, i use virtualdub for that, it's all filter based though, but a handy tool to learn

Vista doesn't recognise my camcorder, I can't find the driver for it either on the web...Pinnacle studio Plus 11 here I come I guess :/
