I just bought a 17" iMac G5 1.6GHZ 1GB Ram 80 GB HD... I'd like to start toying around with some decent editing in the near future. (piecing new music, dialogue, cutting and inserting video type stuff)

As far as I understand I start by ripping a DVD using Mac the Ripper, Mux the ac-3 and m2v with ffmpgx... then what, editing?

How about some editing software advice? Expense is a huge issue considering buying expensive things incorporates spending money that I do not have.
Are there some cheap alternatives to Final Cut Pro or Premiere? Spending a thousand is out of the question, but maybe 200-300... pushing 400 will hurt. Any advice would be much appreciated!

...and please be gentle.
