Ok I just got my firstdigital CamCorder, I have the firewire cord that hooks to my PC, (I just need a card, I will be getting a card as soon as the stores open)..
I want to know what I will need to be able to capture the video from the cam? Also if there is any free video editing software thats cool.. ( Basicly I wanted to take a stab at the you tube videos.. ) What do I need to know?? The cam did not come with software..

Depending on the model and the features available in your camcorder model, here are a few things that you can do to achieve your objective:
1 -- If you have firewire port in your camcorder, get a firewire card installed in your PC and then using the s/w provided with the camcorder, transfer the video onto the pc.
2 -- If your camcorder supports USB streaming, then you can you the USB port on your PC to get the video transfered onto your PC.
3 -- If your PC has a TV tuner card, give the digital o/p of your camcorder to this tuner card and then get the video transfered onto your PC.

You can use Windows Movie Maker to capture and edit your video. It's a bit basic, but it'll get you started. If you want something more powerful, have a look at Sony's Vegas Movie Studio - it's not free, but it is good!
