I just bought a new camcorder and I've always wanted to try and do some video editing.  Can anyone recommend some software for someone who just wants to mess around a bit?  It looks like Adobe Premiere is a good one but they want $800!!!!!  I don't want it anywhere near that badly.  I was just hoping to cut up some home videos and put them to music.   It came with some basic software but nothing good enough to work with or set any music to.

Any suggestions?

There aren't a lot of cheap ones out there that are worth anything, really.  

My cousin has had something from this company for a while, and seems to like it.  Again, I don't know how much he spent, but I'm sure as hell he can't afford anything in the $800 range.

If you're running a PC Windows Movie Maker isn't half bad, actually.
