  VirtualDub is not a video editing software. It's basically a program to
decode and then encode video (using existing codecs in your system), with
support for some filters which can be applied to the video.

  The main purpose of VirtualDub is to re-encode videos (from one format,
eg. raw or mpeg2, to another, eg. mpeg4, of from one format to the same
format but with different compression settings).

  I didn't know MPEG-2 was so secret of a format.

  DVD creators are not video editing software per se.

  Something which doesn't cost humongous amounts of money? Nope.
