    I've got home movies on DVDR's. The movies are already on DVDRs so I [bold]don't[/bold] need to transfer them from tape to the PC.

    I want to edit them, add menus, transitions, fades, music, etc.

    1) I need software to convert DVDRs to MPEG-2 to enable editing using good/popular video editing software, as most video editing software deals with MPEG-2 encoded movies.

    2) I need software that offers nice, easy, simple-to-use editing features. I'm pretty good with software so it doesn't have to be too simple. :)

    I don't need anything too fancy, just a touch of the professional look.

    [bold]If I can find one piece of software that can do both number 1 AND 2, then it'll be much better for me.[/bold]

    I would appreciate recommendations of the best, or most comfortable, everyone's favourite or the easiest freeware AND commercial software that can be used for the above.

    Many thanks. :)
