Video Editing software for nOOb with potential to grow

You could start with Windows MovieMaker - comes free with windows :)

Alternatively, most of the 'cheap' packages are capable of being used in more complex (timeline especially) mode, allowing more accuracy when placing transitions etc.

You could see which companies do trials (Ulead are a good example) so you can get a feel for whether the software is easy enough for you to use intially
 
If you're using Mpeg and mpeg2 only..

Womble MpegVCR

Very simple to use and quick too if you keep to the original bitrate/format. Use it for editing shows down and things like that from my HTPC. Even managed to teach the other half how to use it. :eek:

Sorry, think I mis explained myself.

I didnt want something nOOb proofe at the expense of features, just a video editing program which was initially easy to use but offered powerfull tools for editing home videos.
