I've had good luck with Windows Movie Maker, which comes standard with XP.

I have also had much success with Ulead Video Studio. But have you tried
going to Samsung's website to see if they have an update?

Not any that isn't crap. Premiere is the only thing that comes close
to actually working, and if you pay for that, you have almost paid for
an iMac. I have to use Windoze at work, so I've been looking. I still
end up just taking it home and using my mac when I have to edit video.

I have Final Cut Express here at home, but iMovie is just about what
90% of the home video editing population needs.

If your firewire card is installed correctly it should not matter what
camcorder you have because they are supposed to conform the firewire
standard. Ulead Video Studio 7 is what I use, you can download a full
function trial at http://www.ulead.com. The only other software you
will find in that price range is Pinnacle Studio 8 or 9, it looks good
on the box and it is a little easier to use than Ulead, but then it
crashes every 5 minutes and you would be one of the lucky minority if yu
actually got to the point of finishing a project with it.

My experience with Pinnacle is good so far. It runs fine and renders video
in low and med res. just fine. However, when I do an hour of video running
full data rate (around 8GB of data for an hour of video) the system locks up
whether I am using Pinnacle or Moviemaker (built in Windows utility).
Locking up on the Windows utility makes me think the large amount of data is
choking the machine since I only have 256 MB RAM. Although I don't think
the software is the problem, I haven't gotten more RAM to verify. You can
download Pinnacle for a test as well. http://www.pinnaclesys.com/

I'm not 100% sure on the name...but I bought a package at Best Buy
called "Dazzle"? that will work with any camcorder. The interface is a
universal input module that accepts firewire and standard A/V output
(you know..the white/yellow/red leads) Then it plugs into the
computer's USB slot...and you're good to go!..I believe it was under
$100, and comes with editing software etc.
