I can't get my Sony DCR-TRV140 to import videos into Windows Movie Maker with sound anymore.--Only the Sony Pixela software gives sound, but the files are gigantic and crappy. I have a standalone DVD recorder that I can use with the TV to make videos, but not back to the computer.

Is there any cheap/easy software for me to import and edit some of my videos from the camera AND/OR allow me to convert the clips (.VOB) I put on DVD back to a .mpeg or something to share online?

When converting VOB files or whole DVD I have used WinXMedia Converter with good results. My only problem with it is that it doesn't support windows media video just audio. So I either have to save the files in either Mpeg 1, Mpeg 2 or Avi format.

As far as capturing and editing I use Adobe Premiere Pro but that is probably overkill for you.
