Can't really help you regards a Windows application for video editing (yes, I'm certain there are plenty of choices available) but from my limited research and understanding, if you have to convert a proprietary format to be editable, go to AVI. From AVI you can convert to anything else with minimized losses.
Video is ferociously complex when it comes to formats and protocols. I was interested to get into some video stuff last year and started researching things. Finally gave up after a week or two ... It would take quite a while to fully understand all the nuances of the different technologies for video image and audio integration. I figured that at my level of interest, if I just buy any HD video camera that is listed as compatible with iMovie on Mac OS X, I'll get whatever I wanted out of it. And then decided I couldn't afford the time ... It remains an idea on hold.
