How do I get movies off of camcorder and onto a dvd?

Question

I was lent a JVC mini DV mod# GR-DVL510U. The only thing I got with the camera was blank tape and a cable to charge the battery, What do I need to get to put my movie onto my computer so I can turn it into a dvd?

Thanks for any help with this as I am not good with electronics stuff and need clear directions.

My computer is a Windows XP

If you have a mini dv (cassette) camcorder….

Your dv camcorder needs a firewire connection (ieee 1394) in order to download video, your PC probably did not come with a firewire port, so you will have to buy one and install it, since most computers (except possibly brand new) don't come with a firewire port, your camcorder did not come with a firewire cord so you have to purchase a cord too. Your camcorder did come with a USB cord and that is used for downloading stills from your camcorder.
