Windows Movie Maker (which should be included with Windows XP). If that's not enough, Download Apple Quicktime and then buy the Pro key ($30). The combination of Quicktime Pro and Movie Maker should be able to handle most of your tasks.
Quicktime Pro has some limited editing ablities, but it's main feature is that it can read and write most formats with the execption of Real formats. So then you can convert the MPEG into AVI and then import into movie maker to do some edits/add sound/etc. |

I think if you're wanting one for free, then Windows Movie Maker would be the best

When I was using windows movie maker, I kept getting audio synch issues with my clips. Very annoying when trying to match visual cues with music. Sony Vegas is nice, but all its hyped up to be for the price; but still a very good editor.

What are you talking about Premiere sucks... on a PC, the best editing software is avid. It's what the people in the industry use. It was and still is being used for almost all major movies nowadays.
But, as a mac guy, I'd have to say final cut is the best editing software, but both avid and final cut cost money. There is really no decent editing software for windows, If you decide to go to a mac, iMovie is free. It's got everything you'd ever need. It's like the mac's version of windows movie maker but 10 times better. |

I'd have to say Adobe Premier or Avid. I've used both, and they both seem about even to me. Just try some sort of demo of both of them (I'm sure they exist) and buy which ever one you like best.
