Premier pro is certainly way to go - but very advanced.

Pinnacle is decent also. I have both Pinnacle Studio 8 and Ulead Video Studio, but I have only used them a very little bit. Each one has strong points. I havent' used Windows Movie Makeer except to resize a video.

What is the simplest manager for less than huge/hi-res files to simply clip out parts or string clips together?

Also... to take wmv and convert to avi/divx?

Many people still use tape,and is the easiest to edit since most camcorders are tape format.the DVD units can be edited in a simular matter,its a matter of start & stop.maybe someday I will go total digital when they get them to be as simple to use & reliable as tapes were.

"Many people still use tape,and is the easiest to edit since most camcorders are tape format."

LOL! Tape is easy to edit??!!

Editing tape is a HUGE nightmare!

I'd have to disagree with the most camcorders are tape format!

Sorry to disagree!

What does packing tape have to do with editing digital video?

Videotape/aido tape being phased out I know ,the only 3 digital recordable formats I found reliable are Sony Mini discs,computer hard drives,and scan disc type cards.
many of you computer people have see troubles with CD-R`s and DVD-R`s
I have seen very good results with pre recorded digital media,shure wish the recordable media was as reliable.

Final Cut Express ($) or Final Cut Pro ($$$), or Avid ($$$$) are the way to go. The easiest platform for a beginner is iMovie on a Mac.

All this to cut/paste clips or open a WMV to save as AVI?

I know stereo digital editing is easy I transfered over 500 cassetts to Sony mini discs back in 1998 then made CD-R off them
John would be nice to have a program to turn AVI`s to burn DVD`s that play in regular DVD players with all player compatibility.what makes this a good program is that you can burn disc to play in older DVD players to when you share them with others,I had freinds burn DVD`s that don't work right,or they quit woking after a few plays ,or when they get a few years old ,I`ll wait until they sell a DVD burner that is as reliable at playing/recording as VHS,or better yet plays as good as facrory made DVD`s. I see the trouble with this technology is that it is still fairly new,and theres still bugs in it.I`m guessing tape recording was not good at it`s beginning.
