    Hi. I need to cut a small part of a video clip and make it repeat itself infinitely (looping) when playing it. Is there any free software to do this? Any information will be greatly appreciated!! :D

    would a motion/animated GIF be good enough?

    second movie maker. if you want it to loop, just set your media player (wmp or any other) to repeat.

    Thanks! I found two sites with the Windows movie maker download. This one is only for Vista or windows 7 (I have Windows XP). The other one has rather poor reviews. Anyone knows if the latter is OK?

    (newsposter: not animation. It's a video of real life, actually sports race. :))

    Thanks. I just found that my computer already have had the Windows movie maker preinstalled! OK I succeeded (after much hassles) with trimming and saving the file. Is there a way to have it automatically reply (loop)?
    Thanks a ton!
