How can import video on Sony MiniDV Cam using firewire?

[Rawan AbuSalman]

How do I import a video recorded on a Sony DV Camera to my laptop using a firewire cable? Is there any program or method I can use? (when I connected it, it finished installing and then the autorun came and said to import using Movie Maker or take no action...Isnt there any other way other than movie maker? and in movie maker, what video setting should I chose if i want the video EXACTLy to be important with the same quality that it was recorder at??

Thanx in advance

PS: I also dont want the size to be tooo big....!
