Ed,
I personally like Pinnacle Studio 9. It seems to me to be the most complete
and the easiest to use. It costs bucks but you can make a mini-masterpiece
of a movie with it. The limited version in 8 has too many restrictions to
be of any value when making professional looking video movies. (Doesn't
sync sound tracks correctly, etc.) Sounds like your computer will handle
the job.
Good luck.
