If you want to use Windows Movie Maker I would recommend the attached link for optimal settings to create quality movies.

Windows Movie Maker: (Windows XP, Vista & 7)

There is the new Windows Live Movie Maker but it does not have as many features as the older version.  Besides if you are using XP SP2 or later it should be already installed.

If you want to create DVDs from the movies that you create then I would suggest DVDStyler. (http://www.dvdstyler.de/).
