Well to adjust the signal you need a TBC (time base corrector). This is simliar to the Radio Shack processor that you are looking at on eBay. Since the video is washed out, you will need something that will allow you to bring the video levels down. You also may need to put something like the resister in line as well.
As for editing software, Win XP has built in Moviemaker2 that is very easy to use, but also very easy to outgrow. I would recommend something like Adobe Premiere Elements, for example, because it will give you more control over the video, like being able to adjust colors, cropping and things like that. Then all you need is a firewire card and then an analog to digital converter, like the Canopus ADVC-110. Remember that DV video takes up approx. 13 gigs per hour, so make sure you have enough harddrive space.
There are many different ways to go, these are just some suggestions. Most editing programs have free demos for evaluation, that is the best way to see what works for you. As for pricing and ordering the equipment, just click on the B&H link above. They have great service and usually the best prices.
