free video editor?

November 24, 2007 5:06 PM

I am looking for a free video (mpeg, wmv, etc) editor with some very basic options!

ok I have looked far and wide online for a video editor. my disk space on my PC is getting scarce, so I am wanting to edit clips out of some video files to free up some space on my hard drive. is there a free video editor that will let me cut out (not "hide" hint hint Microsoft Movie Maker) clips from a video file, without any watermarks or restrictions? my hard drive says thanks!

VirtualDub is about as basic as you can get, but works brilliantly with avi files. VirtualDubMod works with mpgs. I don't know any wmv editors offhand.

Try Vidomi. It may not really be exactly what you're looking for, but it will let you select multiple non-contiguous segments of a video file and concatanate them together, even out of order.

ProjectX is a java program that is cross platform. its geared toward mpeg2.

avidemux runs on linux and macos. it might run on windows also. it is geared toward xvid/lavc .avi files and mpeg2.
