Movie making program

Can someone please name any movie making software such as the windows movie make but something better with more options and preferences. It can be either payware or freeware, but i really don't care. I want a whole program just fo movie making and editing, nothing else. I will not accept programs such as flash, too complicated.

I have a movie plan in mind that might proove to be a very good one if made properly.

There are a number of video editing programs out there ranging in allsorts
of prices
A few of the better ones are from Pinnacle,Adobe and Ulead

I have used trail versions of all of the above and the Pinnacle program is probably the best and fastest at rendering raw video files.......but expensive

A very good alternative is this all in one program from Magix

I have just upgraded to the lastest version of Movie Edit Pro 2005

Very easy to use and from the one program you can input video from an external device(camcorder,vcr via a tv card)edit it and then burn to DVD or VCD or whatever
Not as fast as the above but its no slow coach either

I have always used Adobe premier 6. I have just upgraded to Pro1.5. These are both very very versatile programs. I have produced loads of films from the program. I would not recommend anything else. (This is my view)

Thanks TTT! Very very good and useful links, thanks again! Thanks for you recommendation too flyer, I might consider buying that software
