So I'm starting to have ideas for a new fan game... Yes you can get those jaws off the ground now, pigs are flying and so on. Anyways for the project I have in mind, live action video would play a huge component in it so I was wondering which program would be best to use and keep in mind my only experience with game creation has been the old games factory back in like 2000.

Wow. I'd love to see you make another game. Well, Flash is a good way to make games with in-game movies and fancy cutscenes. Game Maker is an easier medium to use, and you can use that if you're attaching the movies as files.

MMF2 (which you'd probably be able to learn easily thanks to using TGF) has video support.

TGF has video support... though it's not a feature that was used regularly and the formats it supports were popular in 1995. The clickteam line of programs have always been slightly better at that sort of thing, mostly because they saw video playback as a big feature. I've not seen a Game Maker game make use of external video formats before.
