Ooh - sounds like dirty heads somewhere... but if you have XP Pro you can fiddle it all through ~Moviemaker, or somesuch. Haven't used it myself, but a blind call to Speedpig might give some jewels of wisdom. Tell him I sent you.
Other than that, my own setup is bereft after a December crash and my neighbour still has my Pinnacle Studio 8. Thinking about that, tha bugger still has my video cam as well...
