VirtualDub (Open Source)
VirtualDub is the best tool (I know) to edit AVI video files for free. You can also open MPEG-1 files to edit and save them as AVI file. If you want to cut unwanted parts of a video file, you have to place the markers (Menu bar - Edit) at the begin and end of the unwanted parts and press Ctrl+X. To create a new file from several clips, open the first clip, place the slider at the end and click File - Append AVI segment to append the next clip to the current one. You can also resize and edit colors, contrast and more. If you have the DIVX codec installed, you can save your video files as AVI wiz DIVX compression.
Compatible with Windows 98 - 7.
Stable 1.9.9 (32-bit): frettts-freeware SourceForge
If you have a 64-bit Mainboard, CPU and Operating System, take the 64-bit version!

Naturally you can use VirtualDub also on your portable devices such as your USB-Sticks. If you want, do it with the help of e.g. ASuite or PStart.
