well, with the default windows movie maker you can mix multiple movies, and it includes slow and fast motion\n\nthat is the only free video editing freeware i can think of, either that or buy pinnicle studio 9

I don't know if it's "the best" but it's definitely easy to use and offers more than just the basics. It's Windows Movie Maker which comes with Windows XP. Allows you to import clips, including importing footage from a camcorder etc. There's a wide variety of output options in terms of quality, and actually editing and mixing your video is easy. Dozens of transitions, fades, brightness filters, effects, volume adjustments etc. and you can add in music of your own as well. I use it all the time to edit my digital camera movie clips as well as ones I take with my Sony Handycam.\n\nP.S. - The latest update (2.1) offers DVD burning capabilities - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx

I've had very good luck with Video Explosion Deluxe from Nova Development.  It lets you bring in all types of audio and video, and it's pretty easy to figure out and use.\n\nI've made a few near-professional home movies of my kids - complete with transitions between scenes, and even scrolling credits at the end.

I would go with the adobe solutions, you can use Adobe Premier to do rhe video stuff, its easy to use still very profecional, you can actually do the slide show thing as well. Now to do the menu thing you'll need another program from adobe Encore DVD it has excelent features and easy to use.\nIm talkin about almost profesional stuff here, but no worries its pretty simple to use. YOu can buy the hole package Adobe Production Studio, standard edition include:\n-Adobe After Effects.\n-Adobe Premier (video editing you can also do the lide show thing)\n-Adobe Photoshop\n-Adobe Audition (Audio editing)\n-Adobe Encore \nAdobe Illustrator.\n\nYou can also use Macromedia Flash 8 for the slide show.

Probably the most fully featured free program is the GIMP:\n\nhttp://www.gimp.org (and no, it's not as dodgy as the name would suggest!!)

Photo Editors I can do:\n\nPhotoPlus, http://freeserifsoftware.com/\n\nPaint.NET, http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ (Probably easier to use than PhotoPlus but it lacks a few advanced features such as drop shadows but everything else is there including, layers, levels, cloning and effects)\n\nPicasa, http://picasa.google.com/ acquired by Google this is a simple editing tool to fix red eye and crop (I'm not sure what else it does) but I use it to keep track of all the images on my PC.\n\nThose are my favorites but just so you have some more options check out Irfanview, http://www.irfanview.com/ and Ultimate Paint, http://www.ultimatepaint.com/ (that one is not free).\n\nThose are free (with the one exception), there might be some that you can pay for but why would you when you can get these for free.  I don't know of any easy to use video program but you can check out Windows Movie Maker (it's free) but it lacks many advanced features available in commercial packages, http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx

Best is relative. There are a bunch of good ones out there. For basic home movies I would recomend Premiere elements for about $70. It is fairly simple to use but very powerful. It is also bundled with photoshop elements for $140. The nice thing about this one is that it leads nicely into more advanced editing programs like premiere pro when you get more advanced.\n\nIf you are looking for a free program then try this one from avid.
