    Hey Gurus

    I have a habit of filming friend's bands when I go to seem them live and I was wandering if there's any decent open source software out there to chop the full videos into managable chunks for YouTube. Preferably need to be able to convert to Youtube's best format (whatever that is). Running Win7 (64 bit).

    Suggestions welcome.

    Cheers

    BLEH!

    Windows Movie Maker comes pre-installed (usually) and it has basic video editing features.

    I've been using AppGeeker Video Editor and I can say that it's an intuitive and powerful tool. However, it's a shareware.

    on further investigation i would suggest to start with blender...it also got HQ 1080p / 60fps and more. so all nice and clean..
