movie project

So far, my attempt to film my movie on a digital camera is working great. It looks good (enough), and I still have plenty of memory left on my Gig sized memory stick. Yes, I've heard, don't rely on a memory stick. Well, I've decided to tempt fate and see what happens (I have also saved most of the raw data to my personal computer). My ultimate goal is to make a film that I can show my professors, my peers, even friends and family, without too much trouble. For me, it's all about access. If I somehow make a film that I actually enjoy, but I am unable to show others, I'm going to be really mad. I am already getting a slight headache just thinking about how much editing I'm going to do. Working with a Mac is simply way too inconvenient for me for this project, in terms of time needed to edit.
As I see it, I have two choices: I can use my camera's basic editing program or Windows Movie Maker (I can access both from home). I may be better off with the basic program since it probably uses less memory (less options = less memory needed). I don't really know what I'm talking about, just a guess.

Technology will not get the better of me!
