    Hey all!
    A few months ago..I took some important video's with my Camera Phone and uploaded them onto my lappy.

    I recently uploaded them to Photobucket, thinking I could edit out some things I didn't need..but I wasn't able to. And, WMP is just letting me view the videos.

    Is there a program I can use in conjunction with the videos to do some editing, like removing parts of it, etc? Preferably a free one?

    I'm a No0B at this..I work better with photo's then I do with Videos I have taken! ;) :eek:

    Thanks, in advance! :D

    Cin ;) :)

    You can crop movies and add basic effects with windows movie maker or even if you want something more advance you could download sony vegas.

    What do you mean the best program?

    - The best there is in the world?
    -The best as in the easiest to use?

    Movie maker is probably your best choice, but it might not be able to import the videos from your camera phone.

    Thank you! :D I will have to check this out! :D

    Perhaps I should have thought might thread title more carefully? :eek:

    I'm looking for best, as in easiest and reliable!

    It wouldn't import even, if they were saved already onto my lappy?

    Thx.

    Cin ;) :)

    not all video codecs in the .avi container are compatible in Movie Maker. E.g. divx as well as h.264 in .avi container won't work.

    The newest version of movie maker should be able to handle M-JPEG.
