Adobe Premiere is the god of PC video editors.

Same for Mac, but Mac gives you Final Cut Pro as another great choice.

Price? Not too cheap. Unless you know of other ways to get it, of which I won't make any additional comments.

im not asking for softwares (which i already have penty) im asking can i edits the video after encoding to mpeg 2 or do i have to do it before all that?

Yes, well it depends on the software you are using, but most editing packages let you edit mpeg1&2, AVI, etc...

... although for quality-reasons it would be advisable to edit before encoding to mpg2, if at all possible. In the mpg2-standard, adjacent frames depend on each other, so if you edit your movie and the editing application isn´t carefull about where it places the cuts (on frame-level) you´ll get anything from jerky playback to complete stops.
