Hi, David.  I finally signed on to this mailing list this weekend :)

If you were using Linux I'd recommend Kino, which I have used briefly
and seems to have the right toolset.  It doesn't look like there is a
windows version, though.

If no one else has specific suggestions for a windows package, you might
start here:

which I think is where I found kino when I was looking for video editing
software last year.  Hopefully one of the others on that list will have
a Windows version, and be just as good or better.
