Some people use Adobe Premiere, but it's very expensive and impractical for personal use. I've heard of "Vegas" being used, but I don't have any knowledge about that one.

Windows Movie Maker 2 is pretty decent, and comes with WinXP SP2.

Here's my suggestions for software.

1) Fraps - For capturing the video from the game.
2) ...not software, but use the demo record function in CoX to fine tune or completely recreate the shots that you want.
3) Personally, I use Vegas Video (even though Sony bought them). Try the www.sony.com site and search for Vegas. Adobe Premier is another option (but the version I used a while back locked up too frequently for me...thus the switch to Vegas). That one is available at www.adobe.com. There are easier to use options out there, like Movie Maker or an easy to use one by Pinnacle and I even think Avid makes a do-it-yourself version but as you could imagine there are going to be limitations with the easier to use software. Just depends on what you want to do....if you're just talking about adding music, then pretty much any of them will do it, and I'd say go for the simplest (cheapest) option.
