Freeware video editing software?

[Rawns]

I've recently got FRAPS and have taken to recording videos when playing games online. I'm interested in uploading a few select segments onto YouTube however the video files come end up being 10Gb+ in size and I don't think Windows Movie Maker will cut it! Can anyone recommend any good and straight forward (and ideally free) video editing software I can try to edit the videos and reduce their size a bit?

An hours worth of avi file is over 13GB, I don't see why Movie Maker would have a problem providing it can handle the format.

use any converter free and convert to wmv movie maker will be able to handle what you throw at it

Expression Encoder also has quite a good little editor in it that may do the job. It's much more powerful than Movie Maker.

For free, AVI Demux is quite good and for ~£25 there's Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum. IIRC, the latter will allow you to import your FRAPS videos without converting them first.
