Answers:    Video Editing Process*

*CAPTURE video stream from vcam & Import files from laptop folder, EDIT to make the movie as a project, FINISH (render) movie as a video database, and finally SAVE or burn to CD/DVD.

for starters, XP/Windows Movie Maker** (wmm) provides simple & easy channel (& free) to learn the ropes- **click wmm lend a hand for details. For enhanced effects, buy SpiceFx by Pixelan.
After learning the editing tricks, you may following venture into other video editing programs - Premiere, Vegas, Pinnacle, Ulead, etc., accdg to skill height.

Steps:
CAPTURE VIDEO
a.) Connect vcam to pc via firewire cable (4 or 6 pin) for accurate transfer (USB can do but possible drop frames beside effect on quality)
b.) Set vcam mode to playback desired video, then break
c.) Open wmm and set to TASK PANE
d.) In the wmm/Task pane/CAPTURE VIDEO, click CAPTURE from video device. Wmm should now know how to control vcam operations. On play, video files are copied to wmm/Collection (usually several video files, although will not catch sight of on vcam playback)
e.) Import also other desired files (video, pics, music, narration) from pc folder to wmm Collection
EDIT MOVIE
f.) wmm/EDIT: drag & drop capture video files one by one from collection to TIMELINE chart below at the desired sequence
g.) Enhance/edit your video further if you wish: drag/drop other files (video, pics, music, narration, effects, transition); create subtitles, next, test to your attachment (re-edit as you wish)
FINISH MOVIE (w/rendering)
h.) Save the video file to notebook or burn to cd
i.) Save the project file (work-in-progress) for succeeding edit

Hope this helps…
Windows offers an application call Windows Movie Maker.

Sony offers a pretty apt application called Vegas Video it runs something like $80. It may offer more than your really looking for.

Avid offered a free app call FreeDV, but they don't offer that any longer. You might be capable of locate a copy out there somewhere.
