Quick and dirty AVI editing

Clodfobble · 10-09-2007, 02:30 PM

Just today, I discovered that my digital camera can actually record little movie files as well. (Why did this not occur to me before? Because I'm stupid.) So I'm at the point where I have an .avi file transferred over to my hard drive, and now I'd like to be able to edit it just a tad before I try to actually email it to various family members (posting it on YouTube for them may come after that, but first things first...) All I want to do is cut off some useless bits from the beginning and end. I already tried the crappy "DVD making" software that came on my computer, but apparently video editing is a feature only available in the premium version.

Surely, I thought, SURELY there is free software to do this, right? And surely someone on the Cellar will know what I need?
