Excellent, thank you for these recommendations...
I'm going to use the Microsoft MovieMaker for a bit then try the others if needed.
Oddly enough, the MovieMaker software has the worst review I think I've ever seen, yet still has nearly 4 million downloads on that same review page:

I've used it before for other things without a problem, so I'll see if it works well for this conversion.
