Bushette I have used several programs including Studio 8 and all of them have their strengths and weaknesses. Unless your going to buy a top of the line program like Adobe Premier, which cost 10 times what you pay for Studio 8, all of them will likely not have something you want or may need. So it's a matter of finding the features you want in a package you can afford.
The other thing many people give little thought to is how intensive video editing and creation can be on a computer and if their computer is up to the task. A fast PC with plenty of Ram and Hard drive space will make creating your own dvd not only fun but keep you from beating on your computer. A fast processor and dvd burner will likewise make a daunting task more managable and you actually might enjoy it.
The third stumbling block for most people is the learning curve required to get the raw video to it's finished product. It takes creativity and patience to turn those videos into polished and well edited dvd's that are fun to watch. Most people lose interest or don't want to take the time to learn the program well enough to turn out a dvd let alone turn a collection of videos into dvds.
I've used Pinnacle Studio DV, Studio 8, Sonic MYDVD, EzCD Creator 6, Hollywood, and Windows Movie Maker. They all work but they all are not perfect nor do they all have the features I want and need in one package. I'd start out with Windows Movie Maker and go from there just remember be patience and be persistant and don't give up.
Take Care, Delta out
