Video editing question

Couldn't really find a better thread to put this in...so hope I got it in the correct one.

I have a friend that has a dvd camcorder and he has recording some video with it and has been unable to edit the video...i.e. cut out the messed up parts...etc. I told him to finalize his dvd disc in his camera and then put the video on his pc and do it. He still has been unable to do anything with it.

So, I told him to get me the disc and I will try and work with it. Now my question. What is a good software to basically cut out segments of the video with to where only all of the good parts are in the new cut?

Years back I used TMPGenc to do something like this, but it was a little involved. Surely there has got to be something easier by now. FREEWARE would be really nice.

Thanks!
 
Use Windows Movie Maker. The nice thing about it is it is able to detect where a recording stopped and where it begins and imports the video as segments instead of one large file. This makes editing very easy because you just need to trim the start and end of the segments. You can quickly and easily end up with just the clips you want.

Ok, thanks! I see it in Windows XP Pro. I will try it and see.

I've been looking for something that would let me take the files, in DVD format, and import them, cut out the commercials, and then reburn the video as a DVD. Would Windows Movie Maker do this?
 
Also, while there are options to burn to DVD in Windows Movie Maker, I'm not sure if it's burning a data disk with WMV files on it or if it's actually converting the WMV into VOB files to be readable in a DVD player.
 
Will Windows Movie Maker work with .avi files, as far as editing goes? Or do they have to be in that WMV format only?

I have never used the program.
