Does anyone know of any easy to use, free to download video editing software that deals with avi files?

Many thanks,

Windows movie maker does the job quite nicely suprisingly enough!

What do you want to do with the AVI files?

A package called VirtualDub will let you extract audio, create new AVIs out of certain sections without re-encoding, re-encode audio but not video, re-encode video but not audio, combine more than one AVI and has a whole host of filters to allow you to crop, shrink, blur, sharpen, correct aspect ratio, resize, smooth etc etc.

Really powerful but probably not the one to use if you just want to add some fancy transitions between frames or credits.

I have just been messing about with a few on board clips from the car. Nothing flash just taken with an average digi camera and made to look cheesy with a few transitions and some music.

Good fun though.
