Your best bet is to buy yourself a Firewire card and cable. Then simply connect your camera to your PC using the firewire (or "1394" cable) and you'll be able to capture to DV fomat. You can pick up a firewire PCI card very cheaply from your local PC retailer.

Alternatively you can use analogue capture. To do this, you'll need to select settings other than DV as you're not actually connected to the camera with a Firewire (1394) cable. Is there an option for analogue capture?
