I just wondered what program(s) other people are using for editing
their home movies, and authoring to DVD?

DVD Lab
Pinnacle Studio 11
Roxio MyDVD 9 Studio
Pegasys DVD Author 3
Ulead DVD Movie Factory 6

I use Pegasys DVD Author 3, but then it's not really a full blown
movie editor. It's more a DVD authoring package that allows for some
simple near-lossless MPEG cutting and pasting. If you want full
frame-by-frame time-line editing then that's not what it does. But
if you want to simply transfer existing DVD or Sky STB material
(via a DVD recorder) and remove ads down to frame accuracy, then
it's first class.

If you need to do both what would you recommend? Would you buy DVD
Author and a separate movie editor or is there one package that can do
both and is pretty good?

You don't mention the format of the "home movie" footage
that you want to edit. You could check out an editing program
that can handle both DV and MPEG, a good choice for
"home movies" would be something like Ulead's VideoStudio.
