First off, DV camcorders record in the standard definition DV-AVI format which is universally supported by nearly all editors. If your camcorder is DV/MiniDV, then you’ll need to follow through with the capture process and import the AVI files, unless the import after capture is automated.
Are you having trouble with the capture process, or do you have problems importing the .AVI files after capturing your video? Windows Movie Maker has full support of the DV-AVI format which should pose no trouble while importing, unless your system bogs out from importing large files.
