CambsGuy there are lots of very good and easy to use video editing suites out there in your price range. MAGIX Movie Edit, Ulead Videostudio 8, Pinnacle Studio 9, and Roxio's Easy Media Creator 7 to name but a few others.

Most have a downloadable trial and I strongly recommend you do this and get a feel for each one's interface, performance, and features. Then you will be in the perfect position to make a choice based on what is important to you.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.
