www.sonicfoundry.com they make soundforge and acid as well. ive used premiere and i dont like it as much as vegas.

it's pretty basic, it'll do just about nothing, but you can take out sound from the video, add sound, narration, transitions between "clips". but that's bout the extent of it.
Adobe Premiere is where it's at.
I'm sure there's a shiatload more out there.

sound forge is great for audio editing. almost perfect actually.

ya vegas is a cross between soundforge, acid(i dont like acid) and premiere.

ive only done a small handful of pieces on it but it does the job pretty quickly and has lots of options.

sessiz, stay away from movie maker. It sucks some serious ballz....
It only allows you to encode in WMV formats which are really sucky as an intermediate format for editing.

my process is this:

cap from my HI-8 cam (using composite video) using FlyDS.
format 720*576, MJPEG Picvideo codec @ quality 18, 25 frames/sec (PAL settings these are, NTSC is 720 * 480, 29.97 fps)
Sound at 44.1KHz, Mono
using AVISYNTH i then resize, fix colour saturation, de-interlace, etc..

load tha puppy into virtualdub, and then I edit and compress into divx usually.

Virtualdub is good for realy simple edits, otherwise premier is great. But if you're a real hardcore puritan you'd use avisynth.

If I want to encode into wmv format use the Windows Media Encoder, not movie maker. WME allows alot of options when you are targeting a clueless audience running windoze boxen without any idea about codecs.

end rant......
