Editing Video

[Rich71]

I have a video of my granddaughters birth that was taken with a digital camera. I want to take out a certain length of video. Is there any way to take out the piece of video ..then stitch it back together...I dont know what the term is for this....

I'm frusterated cant seem to get it right...

first find out what file type your video is with mediainfo and then go to the tools dept and find a free editor that supports the file type

sometimes you have to convert to a workable file type but look first

It depends, to an extent, on the format the video is in. Is it AVI, or a DVD format (with IFO and VOB files in a folder), or MP4?
Whatever you do, as the video is precious, make a backup copy first.
Now let us know the video format and someone will be able to advise you better. Also, what is the make of camera?

I downloaded and installed both pieces of software and neither one worked properly..both said that windows had to close the program because something was making it not work properly

The model number of the camera will help narrow the editing options.

Also some basic computer details. Processor, memory, OS, disk space.

That camera produces video encoded MJPEG.

What editing software do you have? If none try Windows Live Movie Maker first.
