What's a good editing program? I only have windows movie maker and it's pretty bad, but I have made 1 edit on it. I would like to get another program, so are there any suggestions?

final cut pro is the best. however it is very expensive and not user friendly. ive got u-lead video studio 7 and its very easy to use and it was rated very high by consumer reports.

There are some great Final Cut Pro books available on Amazon. Break down, spend the 20 bucks, you'll become insane at the application.

sony vegas 5.0/6.0, anything else is garbage compared to his insanely awesome program.
