I've briefly used Ulead® VideoStudio 9 and it's really good. It comes with lots of templates to make it easy. Do you have a firewire connection?
Answers:
Yes I have a firewire
Answers:
I've used Ulead Videostudio(8) and Pinnacle Studio(8) together for some time now.
Ulead's interface is not great but it's a stable, competent program with loads of useful built-in effects.
Pinnacle has an excellent, easy to use interface but can be unreliable and buggy. I'm still using version 8 because I (finally) have a stable installation - It's impossible to recommend the current version (10) due to numerous glitches and crashes (See amazon review here ).
Answers:
I would recommend Ulead 9 - hubby got that and all the effects you can add in are great, makes our visoes look professional - Kids nativity to do tonight!

Answers:
May seem obvious, but in case you didn't know, both the the PC and the Camcorder will need to have a Firewire port, so they can connect
