Anyone out there know anything about playing with video footage? I am a complete numpty around such things and have been playing (is that a technical term?) all afternoon to no avail :embarasse

I have a smallish clip I need to trim a bit off each end - I have software to do that but it then turns it from an MPEG4 to a something else ( :embarasse ) and I can't then load it to my hosting site, which will only accept MPEG files.

Does anyone know of any (free) software that will trim but stay in MPEG form?

Any help gratefully received :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Jane

How about using the CVR4 option? plenty space, and a video repository for members.
