Video Editing

I wonder if iMovie is as good as it is supposed to be. I am currently using Nero to do my video editing and getting tired of all its bugs. I wonder if iMovie has fewer bugs, or at least less annoying ones. I've looked at the bug reports for iMovie and there are a few that seem really annoying. I just wonder how often you'd run into them. I want to do 2 things, old family movies from vhs to dvd and create a multimedia personal history. Time for more googling.
