For the hobbyist - the best I have ever used is Magix Video Deluxe. Simple, easy to use, very straighforward interface. Cannot handle huge files so I cut my videos into smaller files. Adds an irritating leader and trailer to your file so you have to fiddle about with the camera controls when recording it back to cut it off. Not difficult but annoying.
Ulead, Pinnacle, other hobbyist programmes - I can hardly tell the difference and don't expect you will be able to either. They are good at what they do, if a bit pricey.
Windows Movie Maker is rubbish. Don't even think about it. It's worthless.
If you are going to move up the ladder into "prosumer" editing packages there are only two to consider - Avid DV or Final Cut Pro. In terms of difficulty of use and the level of results you will get there is nothing between them. If you have a Windows PC go for Avid, if you have a Mac go for FCP. Really, it's that simple.
You can get either programme second hand for £2-£300. Never, ever buy pirate copies - they have very careful safeguards built in and the blue screen of death awaits. I'm not joking.
Unless you are a professional dv editor forget anything more complex and expensive; they have features you won't use, operate at a screen resolution you don't need (and have to pay for) and cannot be used by a hobbysit or semi-professional unless you attend expensive and time consuming traning.

Hi, There are couple of very good professional video editing softwares available which is used by many industry professionals.
They are:
1. Adobe Premiere
2. Adobe AfterEffects (although its a compositing software you can also do video editing and add many professional effects to your video files which u usually see on television)
If you are looking for Freeware or simple software then also many of them are there although they dont have much features.

Ulead's MediaStudio Pro 7 is a powerful, feature-rich product that really gives Premiere a run for its money. MediaStudio Pro 7 is closer what you get with Adobe's Video Collection, in that it includes a DVD burner solution as well as video paint tools, CG graphics tools, and other pretty cool high-end capabilities, including full HD support. If your budget is tight, this is a very impressive package for about half the cost of Adobe's video editing suite.
$499 ($299 limited time offer)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Pinnacle Liquid Edition
With a powerful, realtime rendering engine, fantastic studio-level effects, and great quality output. The obvious next step up for you Pinnacle Studio users ready for some real power.

Wow, I must defend my industry and recommend Avid Xpress Pro!
Avid is still the leading editing platform for almost any TV show or movie that you see (though Final Cut Pro is starting to catch up).
I'm recommending this since you've asked for a professional editing software - beware to mention any previous answer (except FCP) to a professional editor - they'll smirk at ya.
The trade-off is, Avid has a steep learning curve. Probably anything else is more user-friendly.
Oh and Discreet Flame? lol... $20,000 and it isn't even an editing tool. It's for compositing.

If you're talking about free video editing software, Windows Movie Maker is probably the best. For software that you have to pay for, Sony Vegas Pro is extremely good but also extremely pricey. I personally use Corel VideoStudio Pro X4. You do have to pay some money for it, but it is a lot better than Windows Movie Maker and is less expensive than Vegas Pro.

I like Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0
If you use photoshop or other adobe programs then you can import psd files and the like and use them in their full glory, with layers and stuff preserved...
Its also very stable.
