Any recommended software that can auto-log my MiniDV video, let me add comments, and print out a hardcopy?

Are you Mac or PC? Mac has CatDV and I think there is a PC version as well. They have free trial versions for download http://www.squarebox.co.uk/catdv/ I've used it on the Mac and it would do what your looking for. Macworld gave it 4 1/2 out of 5.
