Replying to Film editing

What's the best way to do it and what's the best capturing/editing program to use?

I've got a nice broadcast quality 3CCD camera but I can't get the footage onto the computer in a way that it's really any good to do anything with. It's super nice on the camer and on the tv but I just can't import it nicely.

Anyone else have any ideas? How can you get it on in a nice format, how can you do it in widescreen like it is on the camera and what should I use to edit it with once it's on the PC?

Werd.
