Try them:
* Windows Movie Maker
You can use Windows Movie Maker to capture audio and video to your computer
from a video camera, Web camera, or other video source, and then use the
captured content in your movies. You can also import existing audio, video,
or still pictures into Windows Movie Maker to use in the movies you create.
After editing the audio and video content in Windows Movie Maker, which can
include adding titles, video transitions, or effects, you can then save your
final movie and share it with friends and family.
You can save the movies you create to your computer or to a recordable
(CD-R) or rewriteable (CD-RW) CD (depending on your CD recorder). You may
also choose to share it with others by sending the movie as an attachment in
an e-mail message or by sending it to the Web. If you have a digital video
(DV) camera connected to your computer, you can also choose to record the
movie to a tape in your DV camera and then play it back on the DV camera or
on a TV.
* Windows Media Encoder
Microsoft® Windows Media® Encoder 9 Series is a powerful production tool for
converting both live and prerecorded audio and video into Windows Media
files or streams. The following sections introduce conceptual information
about the encoding process and provide steps for using Windows Media
Encoder.
Both of the two softwares can be downloaded from Microsoft Download Website

|I need to edit a mpeg4 file:
| * shorten it
| * possibly normalize the volume
| * probably convert to mpeg2
| and then burn it onto a Video CD, so it can be watched on both PCs and DVD
| players. (I was told reasonably recent DVD players can accept CD-Rs)
|
| What PC software can do these things for me? I would prefer freeware or
| trialware, because this is probably just one time that I need this.
|
| Thanks!
