You can get Adobe Premiere(THE ultimative tool for video/audio enditing) for very cheap prices at ebay at the moment (http://search.ebay.com/Adobe-Premiere_W0QQ_trksidZm37QQfromZR40)
Wish I had the money, tried it out at a good friends studio once(he is a video cutter for commercial films for local television broadcasters) and I was just amazed by the easy workflow and how easily you could export a video into just any format.

Well if you just want to use it for some homevideos Magix Video Deluxe is a good software. Though it has two disadvantages: You might get some rare crashes although this got better with every version and I don't own the latest. But the other thing is that you have to register at Magix in order to get patches. This angers me as with the pc I'm using right now I can't make the damn program export MPGEGs and some AVI Codecs. This worked fine on my older PC and it might get fixed with a patch but I refuse to register there yet as you have to give them all your personal data and not just an E-Mail adress...
If you want to do this on a more professional level there's not much besides Adobe's Premiere although I also don't like it very much. I've also seen it in action and to my mind it was rather complicated and not very intuitive. But maybe that's just like with Blender - at first sight the Interface is pure horror but if you know how it works it turns out to be fine...
Enjoy your meal Toast

I know that's not what you are looking for, but let me plug Adobe After Effects. That program is just SOOOO amazing. Premiere is quite nice as well. How does Premiere Elements compare to Premiere Pro? Maybe that might be something in your price range. http://video-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

and I will test now magix video deluxe 2007/2008. magix sound editing programs wanst bad so I hope video studio will be the same.
It's not bad for the price you pay, but apart from that it's pretty bad (read: limited).
Cheers
