Cheapest programs for video work?

I've only recently started to seriously consider making videos (and putting them on YouTube... in fact I've already done two, here and here). Part of the reason is that my new(ish) computer came with Windows Movie Maker included, which is the first program I've had in ages that could produce video files at all.

What it can do is good but limited. It lets you put a series of still images or video clips in whatever order you want, with your choice of how long to hold each still image. It lets you delete/duplicate/move parts of the included video clips and choose playback speeds. It lets you kill whatever audio might already be in the clips you're including and add another audio file instead. And it lets you add text and apply audio fades and a variety of video transitions from one clip/image to the next.

But it needs to have those video clips or still images already prepared from the outside.
  • It can't extract a bit of a movie in your computer's DVD/Blu-Ray drive or take a freeze-frame shot from it.
  • And it can't produce a video clip by moving different entities in an image around in the same frame relative to each other like the cartoon effects in this video. All I could do right now to get that kind of result would be making individual frames in an image editor and running the whole sequence in WMM at the video's frame rate.
So, what should I do in order to get those two abilities?
