What's the difference between editing and authoring? What part of the process is editing and what part is authoring?

I've used Movie Factory 5.0 Plus (trial) for the past few weeks. I like the features but it can't do the following. Will the purchased Movie Factory 5.0 or Movie Factory 5.0 Plus (or another software) be able to do all (or some of these)? I'm really concerned about item 1-3

1) Combine 2 chapters in a clip.
2) Separate (or split up) two chapters at the point of my choice.
3) Put all the chapter thumbnails/links onto one menu screen (instead of only 3 chapter thumbnails/links).
4) Enhance (darken/brighten video)
5) Save AVI files that are middle size. (Right now, I can save small mpeg files (2 GB) or huge AVI files (17 GB) that are too big for my memory. I want better quality file than MPEG but just not as big as regular AVI files.
