Hi guys, need some quality advice.

My cousin has a mini-dv camera that he used to take a movie of my brothers wedding and I need to get it onto my pc and then create some kind of dvd out of it to pass along to all the family.

Its a new camera for my cousin and he has no idea how to get it on to a pc.

We got as far as me getting a firewire pci card and the correct cable to connect the camera, but now the hard part.

What software would you recommend for transferring the dv tapes to my pc and editing them and creating dvd's from them?

Should I be moving them at full dv size which is like 250mb a min?

I know basically nothing about this kind of thing so any advice to get me going would be great.
 
I looked at windows movie maker but it seemed to be creating .wmv files and I dont how you turn that into a dvd with a scene selection and menu.

I just had someone recommend Roxio VideoWave as a simple easy to use software. Anyone heard of it?
