JVC Editing in MOVIE MAKER

I bought a nice JVC Camcorder. It makes .MOD files which have to be converted
to MPG MWV or AVI to be edited in WMM. Ive read on here that WMM doesn't
"like" or "work very well" with .MOD. What my goal is (and judging from some
other online forums) is to convert the .MOD files WITH Windows Movie Maker. I
was given a lead last week that Adobe Premeir Elements or ULEAD video
Studios. I have several questions.
1). Ive found a product (and the free trial works nicely to convert) called
AVS4YOU, Ive been able to convert it (although only to WMV which works in
WMM) and the clip adds to my timeline. But just because I could get it on
the Timeline and can edit as usual is this THE BEST Solution?

2)When you recommend using ADOBE Premeir Elements or ULEAD are you saying to
use one of THOSE products as our FILM editors. My point being we wouldnt be
using Windows Movie Maker to edit or projects? Sometimes the answers are
ambiguious enough that I cant tell whether you are recommending using it to
CONVERT the clips so they can be used in Windows MM, or that because of the
JVC Enviro that Adobe Premeir Elements or ULEAD would be the BEST and most
Hassle free way to edit our movies now.

3) Also, can those programs do everything (or more) that Windows MM can do?
Point being, is there a tremendous learning curve for those of us that wont
be using WMM for our JVC stuff?

I hope thats everything, sorry for the length, but Ive encountered much in
JVC< here and other similar forums of people asking about what to do about
converting .MOD to a format so that WIndows Movie Maker can edit them. Most
people (as myself ) are driven to the question, merely so we dont have to
switch Movie Editing Programs, and because of my naivete' (I wont speak for
others but it appears so). Dont quite get if we are being told the other
programs will be used for conversion or will be our new editors.

Thanks so much in advance. Youve offered so many tips and Ive delighted in
the things Ive learned to do with WMM

While I do not have experience with .mod, etc., I know that the subject is
often discussed at the forum at this URL:
http://www.windowsmoviemakers.net/forums/

You can search the site for references to your type of files, etc. There
are reall WMM experts there.

I did, but I need answers to the questions I asked in my post. Although the
forums are extremely helpful its clear from reading other forums and this
one, that people like myself need clearer answers. thus the longer questions.
There ARE lots of Q and A on here about changing to .MOD and Ive learned how
to do that. The real question is what i asked. Thanks!!
