Virtualdub - Video Capture and Editing (Windows) Virtualdub is a well-known video capture, processing and editing software that allows you to capture video from an input source and perform simple video editing. It is not a full-blown video editor as such, but for simple cut and trim operations, it works well. It is also able to perform a variety of pre and post processing operations on your video such as adjusting the frame rate, remove audio tracks without touching the video, pass your video through processing filters like blur, sharpen, emboss, smoothen, flip, resize, rotate, adjust the brightness and contrast, deinterlace, etc. It is geared towards processing AVI files, although it can also read, though not write, MPEG-1 files. If you install video codecs onto your system, VirtualDub will be able to use it. This is a Windows program.
MPEG Streamclip (Windows, Mac) MPEG Streamclip can convert, play and edit a variety of movie/video formats, such as MPEG, VOB, PS, M2P, MOD, VRO, DAT, MOV, DV, AVI, MP4, TS, M2T, MMV, REC, VID, AVR, M2V, M1V, MPV, AIFF, M1A, MP2, MPA, AC3, etc. Editing facilities include cut, copy, paste, trim, the ability to convert to muxed or demuxed files, etc. Because of its support for VOB files, it looks like you can use this tool to save/copy a clip from a DVD as well.

About
Paint.NET is free image and photo editing software for computers that run Windows. It features an intuitive and innovative user interface with support for layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. An active and growing online community provides friendly help, tutorials, and plugins. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the Microsoft Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple image and photo editor tool. It has been compared to other digital photo editing software packages such as Adobe® Photoshop®, Corel® Paint Shop Pro®, Microsoft Photo Editor, and The GIMP.
