I'm looking for some easy to use video editing software. My camera takes short 33 second blips with no sound so I'd like to put a few together with some background music. Any recommendations?

MS Movie Maker is about the easiest one for free! - part of XP SP2, I believe. There is also an excellent support group at http://www.WindowsMovieMakers.NET/Forums/Login.aspx

If I can piggyback my request on yours...............what app (under XP) will let you quickly and easily hack up a feature length movie - want to drop scenes and re-combine it. Most of the ones I tried are too clumsy at handling large files, or much too slow.

for simple things I like movie maker, but for complex home dvd editing I prefer adobe premier pro

Cool. I'll give movie maker a shot. The forum looks pretty good but hopefully the process won't be too complicated anyway. Thanks.

I tried Movie Maker but ran into a problem.....

I use a mini-DV camcorder, like most people nowadays I guess. Canon MV700.

The one hour mini-DV tape in raw form is around 12 gigs. I couldn't make Movie Maker capture my 1 hour tape at a useable compression. Which would be 4.5 gigs so as to burn on to a DVD.

Movie Maker has a lot of options to capture mini-DV but I couldn't find the option which captures it at around 4 gig so I could then burn onto DVD.

Anyone know how?

Kind of unimportant anyway because I'm very happy with the capture and edit software by Nero. Nero 7 premium.

capture the video to dv-avi, edit it and then export the movie to DVD or whichever format you want. Movie maker will then compress the video to fit onto the media of your choice.
