I know exactly what you're going through. Hopefully I'm going to finally upgrade my laptop soon, and it's going to be like the weights have come off-- I'm already getting new vid ideas that I'm saving for the new 'puter.

I've been using Roxio, which gives me fits-- crashes at THE most inappropriate times and flakes out on me with transitions, but it's done it job so far.

Forget even thinking about Media Movie Maker-- what a joke. Crashes if you have anything bigger than 45 seconds.
