home movie editing software

Has anyone used the video editing software-Power Director 5 by Cyberlink?
I heard Power Director 5 is the #1 rated video editing software and it is very easy to use. I have Windows XP and a DVD writer. I need something easy to use but I want it to look good too. I like to make movies using home pictures and short videos. Thanks for any help you give.
No, But I highly recommend Pinnacle Studio 9. 10 just came out so 9 is cheap (under $30) and it’s better.
You’ll need a large external hard-drive no matter what program you use for the large miniDV files (15 min = 4 GB.)
