    You can try the Movie Maker on XP and Vista, its simple and easy to use. Just copy and paste, slide the bar to where you want to cut the video and add as many as you want, add into titles and music where needed. Enjoy!

    indeed, I use movie maker a lot. I also use Nero somethin-or-other, came with my CD burner. the Nero version came with a crapload of goofy effects that I'll never use, but still works well as a basic editor.

    windows movie maker does work pretty dang good. my only compaint is the the program slices up the footage and doesnt allow you any input as to where the cuts are.

    A great example of how easy Movie Maker is, my 5th grade son uses it for his progress report presentation. I believe there are some video tutorials on Microsoft's website.

    Enjoy,

    I've used quicktime to edit some stuff before
    Windows Movie Maker is probably one of the easiest, video editing software I've used, and it's free
    The other that I would recommend, if you can get your hands on is, Adobe Premier, but that ain't cheap.

    I've made videos the hard way before also, lol, you don't want to know.

    Premiere Elements, the trimmed-down version of Adobe Premiere, is pretty decent for the price. It offers the basics that most people need for editing and decent support for a variety of output formats.

    Windows Movie Maker is also pretty decent but I abhor the WMV format. If that isn't a problem for you than it's a great free editing utility.

    iMovie is indeed free, part of the iLife suite on OSX. It isn't available to PC users though. Final Cut Pro is the pro editing app for the Macs and that is far from free.
