    I'm looking for some free video editing software for windows that does:
    *rotate the movie
    *splits the movie
    *saves as mpgs

    I've looked around but can't find anything that does all 3.

    Any ideas?

    Virtual Dub is decent but I hate it.

    If really want any half decent movie editor you will have to buy one.

    I had a look at virual dub - is there any option to rotate the movie? Couldn't see one.

    As there seems to be no free ones, can anyone suggest any lightweight editor that does what I requested in the op?

    Cheers

    Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0 is good, you can use the trial version for 30 days but it has a watermark for all work done.

    You can buy it for around $50-$75 if you look around.

    Sony Vegas Movie Studio is pretty good from what I hear as well.
