I recommend a program called Kino. It's really easy.

The only problem I ran into was having to have the IEEE1394 stuff as a module 
in the kernal as it often doesn't work when built in.
Just google for Kino walk-through's. I believe that's the simplest way I could 
find of transferring the DV to computer. Kino has basic editing 
functionality.
