is there any free digital video editing program for windows that is decent for the following needs?

I shot about 10 one minute long videos clips with my pocket canon digital camera in video mode. 640 x 480. what I want to is join all of the videos together into 1 long one but also edit some parts out, etc. then I want to lay 1 soundtrack over the whole thing. I mean, I have virtualdub which is ok but it there anthing else? nothing too advanced is needed, I mean adding some titles and text/overlays would be nice and all bu it doesnt need too many fancy efects. Iv never even attempted to use windows movie maker. is that a suggestion? any info would be great. im looking for something free that will get this done ( no free trials that leave a watermark of the company on it until you purchase it. I mean totally free)

VirtualDub is fine but if you don’t like it, then try Windows Movie Maker. In Windows 7 it got a nice revamp.

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSI?

I am looking to buy a "beginner" DLSR camera. My "pocket" digital camera is no longer takng great pictures. I have a 7 mega pixel pocket camera and the quality of the pictures are not great. I have tried adjusting the settings and zoom and all that but nothing seems to work.

Any suggestions or tips on buying a camera tha has good quality pictures? I like to take indoor pictures and pictures of my kids and portrait pictures. Any suggestions?

The Canon XSi is an excellent entry level DSLR, any of the entry level cameras of that genre would suit your needs quite well. Go to http://dpreview.com and compare the different cameras using the side by side comparison tool. Look at the features and see which appeals to you the most. Read the reviews and study the sample images. Then go to a store and handle the different models, get a feel for them, try the controls, and look through the menus.

Buy the one you feel most comfortable using.

Regardless of the camera you get, you will want to get a speedlite flash for it… the built in flashes are quite inadequate …
