Hi there,

Hoping a knowledgeable, attractive, intelligent, witty, and charming user out there can recommend an easy-to-use but effective video editing program for use on Windows 7.

I don't want anything as huge and complex as Adobe Premiere (which I had trouble installing due to language pack issues). I want to just load in the .mt2 1080p HD files from my Sony camera, trim them, add a nice menu page and then export it as an .MKV so I can watch it on my new HDTV via my media player. I also want to be able to export two versions of the same movie--one as an .MKV and one as a normal DVD (ie as VIDEO_TS .vob files) so I can burn it and send to my parents, who don't have a 1080 capable TV.

I have tried VideoPad (crashes) and AVS Video Converter (crashes importing files) and Nero (too big, and won't install as English language as my PC runs a Japanese OS).

Any help with this very sincerely appreciated. Thank you!!

Thanks everybody. All I am attempting to do is make/edit a home movie of my kids shot @ 1080 on my Sony camcorder --one 1080p version for streaming to my home TV, and one regular version exported onto DVD for my parents.
This is turning into a nightmare for me. I successfully installed Corel X3 and edited a really nice home movie, exported it as a Bluray and also AVCHD mpeg (about 11 gig each) and tried to play them on my new panasonic telly. It starts out awesome and then gets unwatchable--choppy, or the video stops and the sound keeps going. Either my Buffalo media player / HDD combo can't handle it, or there is a problem with Corel creating the file.
As my buff LTV100 media player works fine with DL'd 1080 mkv movies, I am wondering if it is not Corel. It also shits itself trying to make an HD mp4 file.
So I will try the Sony program next. SIGH. I almost long for the days of VHS. Any ideas, anyone?
