These are the tools I use:
Capture: Windows Movie Maker. (Used to use premier but WMM is so darn easy) Capture to DV-AVI instead of WMV for full quality.
Crop, titling, editing: Adobe Premiere (Photoshop for titles). I think there is also a freeware tool that is comparable to premiere, Ive just never used it.
Encoding/Compressing: VirtualDub (free) using new Divx Pro codecs and audio in MP3. (Id like to start using h.264 encoding when more players start supporting it)
Im always very happy with the result. I get 25 minutes worth of full DV resolution (720x480) high quality ouput with professional quality titles and graphics with under 200mb file.
