    I'm looking for a free open source video editor that supports most common video formats. I was looking into Open Movie Editor, but it only runs on Linux. Is there any video editing software that supports all the codecs that ffmpeg supports? I just need to basically jam together some video clips and audio clips that I'll be recording myself for a class 'commercial'. Doesn't have to be very detailed, just needs to support the various formats that I need to put in.

    Check out VirtualDubMod I think it is the best freeware editor available.

    I've tried VDubMod and I like it, but I need some kind of nonlinear editor that I can add clips on on a timeline :\

    Do you know of one that can help me in that regard?

    Have you tried Windows Media Maker. It is standard on most versions of Windows and I think it can do some of what you are after, though I have not used it much.

    Other than that I can recommend Magix Movie Editor Pro & Sony Vegas Pro. Both of these will work but they are not freeware.

    Perhaps others know of some additional freeware available. You can try the Tools search function of this site. It may lead you where you want to go. Good luck.

    I tried using the tools section but I can't tell what all video formats are supported. I think I'll just end up converting the files(something I was trying to avoid :P) and then import them into movie maker. If anyone can suggest a better alternative though, please let me know
