Question

Answer 1

Both your camcorder and computer have USB 2.0 jacks, which you'll need for transferring all that data in a reasonable amount of time. The camcorder should also have come with some video editing software in the box.

Answer 2

You can just put the DVD into the computer and copy the files.

Otherwise, you'll have to transfer via USB or even worse, a linear transfer via firewire.
