    I've been having a hell of a time trying to find a simple video editor for XP. All i want to do is cut certain parts of my movies or video files, and save them as their own video file.

    THATS IT! i dont want to do anything else. i cant seem to find anything that does this. maybe im not searching correctly or maybe im just a friggin idiot.

    Windows movie maker wont recognize the files im trying to add, and even if it did, i was never happy with the quality WMM spit out.

    I'd really prefer a free, open source program. but a cheap pay for software that does it will do as well.

    I dont know if any of you are familiar with the MP3 editing software called Audacity, but if there were a video version, i'd be in heaven!

    please help!

    VirtualDub should be able to do that and some more advance things without a problem(and its open source). If you want something simpler(just trimming), then try Free Video Dub...I have used it in the past.

    Avidemux. Free and very easy to use. I always do what you want to do with this program.
