What I have experience with-

ULead Move Factory 4.x - Good for editing movies and combining video segments and burning DVD's (what it was designed for). Separate audio tracks, must be burned to DVD though on the version I have.

Nero 9 - Has two audio tracks and one video track, but video track can contain multiple videos with nice transition effects. Also makes very nice Utube type compressed videos (mp4) with small size/great quality factor.

Adobe Premier Elements- multiple audio and video tracks, can make very nice movies from multiple scenes and audio tracks. As mentioned, it is a huge resource hog and got many lockups when doing final exports of large movies on newer dual-core machines, but is pro-level video software when used on a dedicated machine.

Adobe Flash - can do multiple videos and audio, limited effects, and must be converted to Flash file in the end. However they can be reonverted.

Arcsoft Showbiz - Has two audio and one video/audio track, can do transitions, mainly a DVD creation tool.

Power Director - came with a Samsung camera that surprised me, very simple with two audio and one video with transitions. Does a nice job to DVD, WMVV or MP4.

WMM- basic tool, easy to use, capable and free.

Pain as it is, Premier is the most sophisticated.
