Well, I can't say I'm using it, not because it is not good but because I have not been doing any video editing for quite a long period of time.

I did have a question for the author at that point in time which is that I did not find any support for mov, the native format used in my Nikon Digital camera for which I wanted to do some editing.

So that was a hurdle for me then when I wanted to do some of that. And that was wow, maybe 3 years ago. Maybe things have changed for the better, then maybe not (change is not necessarily good).

So I would say, do check out what type of videos you need to edit and make sure it supports it - don't assume and of  course, download a trial and see how intuitive it is for you.

If you are not sure of anything else, do email the author. If I remember correctly, he was quite responsive.

And if you do decide to buy, let us know the outcome of that decision.

AviDemux along with ffmpeg or mencoder is an excellent, free, solution.

Ehtyar.

Kate's Free beta VSplitter & beta Joiner & beta Converter are worth checking out. 

I looked long & hard for a free simple joiner app after Vista made my previous softwares unusable--& finally  found Kate.
 
Don't mind the name of the website: (page for the beta software:)
http://www.fakewebcam.com/vfcTK.asp

Main page.
http://www.fakewebcam.com/

They have several shareware products (like Kates' all in one Video Toolkit ($20)

The page says the beta software are trial & also free.  (They may be moving to share-basis?)
    Note the 'free' indicator by the 'buy baskets'.

PS - Before finding Kate's (via a post at Lifehacker?) I purchased Replay Media Splitter (I have all their software).  It works fine too.

AviDemux along with ffmpeg or mencoder is an excellent, free, solution.

Avidemux is currently my preferred editor for simple things, (I use an old version of Vegas for more complex things, eg. video/audio resyncing).

I think you'll find that most of the codecs in Avidemux are based on ffmpeg, (as is mencoder IIRC), via libavcodec.

About the only really annoying big bug, (which has been mentioned in the forums by myself and others), I find with Avidemux is it's complete inability to create an AVI file bigger than 4GB that works.

I m using Media Player Classic i think this is best video editing software.

MPC is playback only, apart from applying some on-the-fly video effects it can't do any video editing.

lol, that was my thought too.. moreover his only other post so far is about a windows registry cleaner, sounds very spammy.

Thanks for your reply, patteo! Btw, there is a forum there now actually. And as you've said, the author seems very quick to respond and active, which is good. I'll just go on with the trial and see...
