New User needs help

[rpwall]

Yes guys aother newbie needs help- Am about to buy DVD editing software but am not sure which one to buy. Computer specs are Intel 4 @ 2 gig, 160 Gig Hard, 1 meg RAM. Have edited VHS tapes in the past using analouge mixing and S/FX equipment but now need to upgrade to all digital. Source material will be either VHS tapes or if easier I can burn the tapes to DVD + or - .
Software will need to be able to overlay audio, fade in/out and on the visual side I need to fade in/out, swipe, dissolve, pic in pic, chroma F/X , title overlay, animations etc. I looked on the Amazon website and while Pinnacle seems to cover it, the reviews wern't too complimentary (crashes,bugs).
OK guys, be honest, can it do the job or will I be effin at it after two days. Is there better software out there?

Thx Rich

it really depends on your budget. how much are you willing to spend?
do you need a nle or just a dvd authoring solution? wasn't a dvd authoring solution bundled with your dvd burner?
