video editing software
best of the season to you!
santa brought me a 1080p HD video camera for christmas that had one of those "translated" manuals which is of no help at all. there were no suggestions for and no programs included for a suitable editing software suite. it seems to save files in the MOV format, and i have windows 7 with the included movie maker which is a JPEG format. i have tried "lightsource" and it gave me weird error messages on startup. does anyone have any suggestions for a decent, preferably free video editing software suite that i can download?
thanks in advance and happy new year!

MAGIX Movie Edit Pro Premium - Overview
I've been using MEP since 2003. Fantastic program; quirky sometimes, but a delight to use when you get the hang of it. There are lots of tute videos around the net for it. Try the trial (from the Free Downloads tab); video formats/codecs are many and varied and you'll need to install Quicktime to enable MOV support. In Quicktime, deselect all formats except MOV format.
There are 3 versions; MEP MX Plus would probably be the best for you.
Be prepared for a vertical learning curve but after that, the video-editing world is your oyster.
