    Topic says it all....Windows Movie Maker just dosn't seem to cut it for me.
    If there is someone particularly nice out there, they could give both a freeware and a purchase version.

    Thanking you in advance,

    I use a couple of free programs (in addition to WMM). They work well for my video needs - granted, I don't require a great deal for my home movies and such.

    Virtual Dub (http://www.download.com/VirtualDub) is a good AVI editing and capture program. I use the Divx codec with it when capturing raw feed from my PCI card. It also accepts third party plug-ins.

    Tsunami MPEG (http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html) is a great editing program that will convert AVI files into MPEG which can then be burned into VCD's or DVD's (never used it for DVD's though - I've got Sonic for that).

    I've had good luck with both programs, and have used them for years. I was able to save my old beta (yes, beta . . . it was a gift, ok!) home movies of the kids before the tapes fell apart using these free programs. They may not be good for major video work, though. I don't know.

    W0W, thanks for the link!!! Its like Maya PLE, but for video editing! A bit of a shame about the 2 track limitations but I can get over that.
