    windows movie maker should already be loaded with your operating system.
    for basic chopping and cutting this is great.

    if its already transfered into a iso file then youve gone too far.
    to use a video editing software to cut out bits of the film they have to be an avi/mpeg2/mpeg4 file.

    where did the original film come from,a ripped dvd or video camera
