What is the best video editing software in the market today at a cost under $150.00?

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Ha! Good luck on that one.
Here's some to take a look at.
Pinnacle Studio 10
Avid Express
Sony Movie Studio
TMPGNEC
Microsoft Movie Maker
With the exception of TMPGNEC, these are all low end Consumer Products that will do the job in a pinch, but are certainly limited. I'm sure there are others but these seem to be the ones most often used.

I use Pinnacle Studio. The great thing about this software is the grab frame feature and video editing possibilities. Ive still to learn about the whole program but as far as recommending the software I definetely do. When I purchased my Firewire Card and wire the software came with it. Good luck on your shoppig venture...

I'm using Sony Vegas... I'm really impressed by it. Much easier to use than Premiere and very speedy. You can find cheaper, older versions on eBay... I'm using V5 and it's plenty enough for me.

+1 Vegas is the bomb.. but of course we need to be below 150$.
with that in mind you have a good point.. I bet you could easily find an older version of Vegas real cheap on Ebay.. Or maybe you could get one from a member here on stormtrack
Try out Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.
It's Adobe's latest version of their stripped version of the pro Premiere but has about the same capabilities as Pinnacle 10.X.
I have used a lot of different programs and have determined Sony Vegas is the best for what I do, although I use Premiere Elements for on-the-fly video while chasing.
Beware of Pinnacle Studio Plus 10+. Pinnacle has put out some great products in the past but seem to be concentrating on higher-end products now yet still trying to get new consumer products out every year in time for Christmas.
In other words: If you like to update your production suite as often as you update your iTunes software, Pinnacle is okay...
