| I'm trying to edit an mpeg file. I primarily need to cut the length down. What share- freeware product works the best/easiest? I am on a PC and using Vista if it matters. Thanks! |

| Windows Movie Maker - it's free and probably already installed. It's not a full blown editing suite but it will do quick edits, transitions, splices, etc. |

| Yeah, I found that one. However, I couldn't figure out how to cut the length. I was able to split the original file, but then I could only save that as a Movie Maker file instead of the original mpeg format. |

| Instead of "Save Project", choose "Save Movie File", that will let you choose your quality settings and such and reencode it. This could take a while. |

| Assuming nothing has changed to movie maker in the past few years I think you just click on the clip, hold mouse over the end of the clip, click and drag to desired length. |

| Thanks guys! I gave up on it a while ago. My presentation was too long and it didn't add as much as I would like to it. But, I do appreciate the feeback. |
