Not to beat a dead horse, but this is why a Mac makes sense for a lot of people. They, along with the software they're bundled with, can often pay for themselves quite quickly.

I'm sure if you spent some additional money on software for Windows you'd also find a solution that was better suited to what you're trying to do without jumping through so many hoops.

Maybe even Adobe Premiere Elements, though I don't have any experience with it myself. Should be around $40-60.
