There is no reason for that. It is a real simple operation. If uncertain, go to an electronics shop that will do it for you.

The coloured jacks are analog connections. A bit of a shame to do that. If you go that road use iLink.

What do you mean?

Anyway, I would definitely go for a Firewire connection on your PC, unless you have no plans whatever to edit your footage.

Nero is very basic editing; you could also use MS MovieMaker for that. Check here for a listing: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/siteinfo/suppliers.php

When you connect your camcorder, make sure it is in playback mode (also referred to as VCR-mode on many models).
Start one of these very simple but effective freeware capture programs (like DVIO or WinDV) to test. Here's a collection: http://www.digitalvideoclub.com/downloads/freedownloads.php

WinDV you mean I guess.
What is your camcorder model?

There has been very long thread over here about problems with Firewire http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/142580
Unfortunately it never reulted in any satisfactory answers. Personally I know IEEE1394 technology as very reliable and the first thing that I would test is:
1. Try the camcorder on another PC
2. Try another camcorder on the same PC
This will at least tell you whether it is a PC or a camcorder problem.

ive bought a dvd recorder yet only managed to record it from the coloured jacks on to dvdrw+ to produce a dvd through my Nero package it converted the files but when i tried to edit they wouldent play just froze when i pressed play. the recorder as a 4pin dv jack my camcorder also has 4 pin unfortunately my cable as a six pin at one end and 4 at the other . my question is can you get a 4 to 4 cable
