How to make a movie like a pro...

Hi All,
I am in the process of shooting home made movie, I need to do lot of editing. What is the best software for this? I have seen few free but there is always some kind of limit as to what you can do. I don't mind paying $100 or $150 to buy the software.

I am using Canon Digital camcorder to shoot this movie. The file gets generated as MTS format.

What ever the software I choose, first we need to change the format from MTS to MOV. Is that best format when your final goal is to make a movie or is there a better version?

Second, I need to edit and join and may need to add some kind of music in the background.

Please advice. Thank you so much.

NAME

       pia - play media files

SYNOPSIS

       pia [ options ] movie

DESCRIPTION

       pia is a small X11 tool which playes movie files.

OPTIONS

       pia understands the usual toolkit options (-geometry + friends).  Additional options are:

       -h     display help text

       -v     be verbose.

       -debug enable debug messages.

       -dsp <dev>
	      Use OSS device <dev> for sound.

       -noxv  Disable Xvideo extention.

       -nogl  Disable OpenGL.

       -noaudio
	      Don't play sound.

       -novideo
	      Don't play video.

       -slow n
	      Slowdown video playback by factor n.  n=2 doubles playback time, ...  This also turns off audio playback.

SUPPORTED MOVIE FORMATS

       Main  purpose  of this utility is to playback movie files recorded by xawtv, motv and streamer.	It should be able to playback every AVI or
       QuickTime movie written by one of the mentioned utilites.  Feel free to submit a bug report if this doesn't work for some file.

   QuickTime
       pia uses libquicktime to decode quicktime movies, thus it should be able to decode  and	playback  all  movies  with  codecs  supported	by
       libquicktime.

   AVI
       AVI  support  is  very  limited.   Video:  uncompressed RGB data (15 and 24 bpp) and mjpeg is supported.  Audio: only uncompressed PCM data
       works.

   WAV
       WAV files are playable too, with the same limitation like AVI audio: only uncompressed PCM data.
