There's a load of different programs that you can use. From what I've seen, the two biggies that are used by editors here are Sony Vegas and Adobe Premiere. You can get free trial downloads from either company's site and give them a try.
You can also find a more comprehensive list of programs in this thread:

One thing to definitely get is the AMVAPP that is free from the org.
