It's been quite a while since I tried this, but my experience is via a firewire interface from the camera to the PC to grab the frames, and a package like Vegas Video to process them and output as a .mpg file. Only it's not very easy, and unless you have a pretty fast PC, it takes literally, days. Last time I copied DV tape to a DVD (admittedly there was an hour of footage) it took 4 days for my PC to render it.
This probably says more about how tight I am about spending money on my PC [1] than currently available technology to be honest. It could well be that more modern versions of Windows make this process a lot easier. Personally, if I had to do it again, I'd use a Mac.
[1] It's a 300MHz Celeron. Hot stuff in 1997.
