DVD Flick is another good option. I had very good results with it.
I would not recommend trying the X3 version of Corel Video Studio as there was a major problem with the authoring module.It was so bad that Corel has now issued an different stand alone authoring program free to all purchasers of the v3 version. Unfortunately this module does not come with the trial version of the x3 program so you can't evaluate it first. If you look at this thread within the Corel Forum it will explain all.

In any case you don't really need this version unless you are talking high definition. I can't find where you can download a trial version of the x2 version, sorry!
HI Spottedfeather
Had another thought. How about using Windows movie maker to cut, say a 4 minute clip from your video, putting it up on a server, sending me a PM with the URL and I will download and see what I can do with it with my range of video and audio software. If I can find the answer then I will just post my workflow!
I've never used Movie Maker in my life, so how do I cut a piece from a movie ?
In WMM, go to "Clip" and "Split". Then you publish the piece you want to retain. In WLMM, you have to go to "Edit".
I'm seriously close to giving up. I haven't found a free progam that will do what I want. Oh, well.
