Excellent
Pros: I have been using it to create movies since it was included in XP. Take a little time to read all of the help files, and you'll find lots of features that aren't obvious. I have had very few problems; it gives stunning results (if you know how to use it). I also use it to turn powerpoints into movies and to easily fix video clips when the sound becomes unsyncronized.
Cons: I haven't figured out how to use different aspect ratios in the same movie. It works best when you use .wmv files, converted with a program like SUPER.
ASPECT RATIOS -- I figured it out
SUPER has a "pad" feature that adds the black bars above and below 16:9 videos that were ripped without adding them. Then you can just include them in a 4:3 video and they look fine.
