Bob,

The specific software I was thinking of is Ulead Video Studio 11 Plus, a
very competent, relatively basic program, which can take video in HD or
standard def formats, edit the content, add transitions, filters, titles,
sound effects, etc., and then output to all sorts of devices and formats
ranging from iPods to BluRay / HD DVD as well as YouTube.

The software can be had for as little as $59 based on the promotions I have
seen, most recently at $69 after rebate at Amazon with free shipping. The
early November release of the so-called "PowerPack" added YouTube support as
well as several other nice features. They offer a trial download version
with full functionality which allows you to check it out and see if you like
it before buying.

I use this software for quick and simple projects, since it is extremely
fast, makes hi def videos as nicely as either Final Cut Pro HD or Vegas
(both way more expensive programs), and is a single program solution for
end-to-end workflow.

Hope this answers your question.
