usually there's the saying "google's your friend" but since i do not want to advertise for a certain search machine - let me recommend to use your favourite. now it's just a question to use the right key words. i tried "AVI MPEG editor free". got a fair list ... actually i use some linux tool, (forgot the name) so i am not good in commenting the capabilities of what you might find... also, searching something like CNET or similar freeware/shareware directories might help. i just hope this is still according to TOS. i'd hate to accidentally name voldemort again. sebastel

Blender is freeware and has a sequence editor.

You can also save the movie as a series of still images. When you've got all the frames rendered use one of the many video-related tools to combine and compress them into video. This will accomplish 2 things. First, you will have perfectly rendered images (no artifacts from compression) for your archives. Second, you can use the same images as a source to try various compression methods and movie formats (avi, .mpg, mov, DivX etc.) to see which gives you the best quality/file size balance. FWIW, QuickTime Pro (available at www.apple.com for $29) is quite useful for a number of editing functions. The QuickTime player is free - the $29 buys you a serial number that unlocks added funcationality.

VirtualDub works quite well at appending AVI files together; it'll even import MPEG-1 files for conversion to AVI.
TMPGEnc will allow you to stitch MPEGs together.
Both applications are freeware, and I've used them for years. I'd be happy to field questions on their operation over in the much-neglected Director's Cut forum, if anyone needs help.
Oh, and you can use a lossless-compression codec (like Huffyuv) if you want to maintain perfect image quality while editing, but don't feel like working with stills.

Virtualdub, listed by Little_Dragon has been my weapon of choice from time to time.
