What software do you use in your movie making?

In the current FVM there is a request for someone to undertake a review of software used in Movie Making. I am interested in seeing just what the spread of software the members of this forum use in producing their masterpieces, it will also help in some research that I am doing about possible regional training courses.
I am listing a range of software that either I use or that I know others use, if you use something that is not on the list could I ask you to post just the name of the software you use and the version number (no dialogue on pros and cons please)

Editing - (Media Composer), + very occasionally Serif Movie-Plus (others in OVFM use this too). (Also have Pinnacle Studio and Liquid but neither used for many years...)
DVD Creation - AvidDVD by Sonic
Sound - (Audacity) GoldWave, CoolEdit
Music Generation (Royalty Free) - Band-in-a-Box, SonicFire Pro
Images - PaintShop Pro, Drawplus
Titling - BluffTiitler (rarely used now but useful with the add-on Bixelangelo)
Animation - CrazyTalk, iClone, Corner-A Art Studio + Nature Illusion + DP Animation (for animating still pictures ... I do not like static pictures in a movie!)
Stabilisation - Mercalli (no longer needed ...)
Format conversion - Sorenson Squeeze
And I still make second rate movies....
(Never more than a 4-star...)

Thanks guys
It was so much easier in the old days when nearly everyone used Adobe Premiere or Ulead Media Studio
I'll have to have a re-think about what we were proposing to undertake in the NW
Cheers
