Video Editing???

So Now I have hours of Video from the last two years. I need a way to chop it up into smaller bits, mainly to clip the grid and the cool down lap and to break it up into smaller clips to post online. I believe it is all in AVI format and it seems to play the best on Realplayer. I searched this forum but couldn't find much. Anyone have a good easy to use program?

I'm still pretty green to it, but if you have XP, there is a program called Windows Movie Maker that is *supposed* to be fairly easy to use. I haven't actually used it yet, so I could be talking out my...oh nevermind..
Vista also has a version of that. Check your program list. They do have tutorials and such, and on XP it looked like a drag and grab kind of program for selecting videos.
Maybe some of the folks who've used these programs or others will weigh in too.

I've used Windoze Movie Maker, but have found Nero to be faster a bit...

Does the Pinnacle software do video capture from the camcorder via USB? I rarely mess with video on the computer but the software I used to use doesn't seem to work right anymore and I'd like to find something that does.

Yes. And 1394.
