Windows XP has the free movie maker (Window's Movie Maker, as it is creativly titled) on it and it does all of that, I believe. (At least it came with windows xp for me)

I think the best one is Adobe Premiere.. but that's going over the top... Windows movie maker seems to be fine for what you're asking.

Windows Movie Maker comes with all versions of Windows XP. Windows Movie Maker 2 (MUCH MUCH BETTER) is available as a free download from Microsoft. It does everything you said there besides green screens. I've gotten some really professional results from it. I liked the functionality of Ulead Video Studio but couldn't stand the interface, ish. I hate it when they force you to black out the rest of your desktop, make nothing resizable and make all the button and windows weird custom bubbly buttons that are slow and unresponsive. I would love it if there was something with the interface and straight fowardness of Windows Movie Maker with the huge selection of features in VideoStudio.

a serious grunt Mac with final cut pro HD for me with shake and after effects.

as another industry standard alternative you could use AVIDS cut down version for free, it is limited to two video and two audio tracks but you can always flatten tracks down into one.

www.avid.com.freedv.

AVID is extensively used in editing suites but its a bit pimply in areas.

the free version stands up to merit for what you get for free.

I tried movie maker, but I realised some little problem :
when I record my movie from the composite channel, it sometimes has a pixel-track .... for example when the camera moves fast, a part of the previous pixels are still visible.

I was wondering how I could avoid that : should I get another program or should I increase the rams ?

what cord are you using?
usb 1 -2 or firewire 400/800

change the recording codec,eg: mpeg2 record can produce bars, record in a higher codec thats not lossy and then convert to mpeg2.

this is common in most video packages, usually the internal format is the best to use until you export it out. the internal format is even more essential to use if you have a hardware card specific to recording from VHS and DVD Players using Svideo or something.
