Windows 7 Software to Convert VHS Tape to Computer to DVD

[RobS]

Have new Computer running Win 7 Pro.

Previously ran Ulead Video Studio 6 on Win XP.

My old VHS Recorder connected to my Sony DV Camcorder, then from Camcorder to 1394 Firewire Card and recorded to Hard drive - then edited using Ulead and Burnt to Dvd.

My previous Firewire Card has been fitted to new Computer and when checking in Control Panel/Device Manager, it says it is Working.

So, experienced members of the Forum, what in your opinion would be the most suitable (preferably easy to use) Video editing Software that I should consider, to carry on Converting and Editing the old VHS Tapes to Dvd.

Your input/experience would be most Welcome.
