Anyone know a good program to edit movies? I wanna take some clips from other movies and make a sort of music video. The one i have is a trial version and its Ulead DVD but its frozens up on me. So does anyone know where i can get a free or trial version of a editor program?

I find virtualdub works well for cutting up video and re-encoding it.
But for effects........best for the money (that being $0) I think is Windows Movie Maker 2.0 for XP SP2

Well I would have to say Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5. It has some cool effects which are all editable, as well as being able to work with photoshop files. Expensive, but worth it.

A man may fight for many things: his country,
his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a
golden child. But personally I'd mud wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock, and a sack of French porn.

Well, if price is no option then I like Sony Vegas, but if you're broke, the windows movie editor suggested above will work on the cheap.

I believe virtualdub can convert the DVD files and then import them into movie maker and do what you will then.
Thats how I do it anyway
