If you're just looking for something simple, go with the windows movie maker. Comes bundled with XP SP2 and should do what you want. If you're a more avid video buff you can step up to premiere (or final cut if you're a mac user) and really do some cool stuff.

Only issue with using the windows movie maker is that it will only let you save as wmv, so no avi/divx encoding through that :?
