VirtualDub will only handle one file at a time.

Yep it'll do that for one 'chunk' of video. I use it mostly for rotating
video 90 degrees and/or re-encoding at 30fps, but you can select sections
cut/copy them out and paste them into a later or earlier point if that's
what you mean.

VirtualDub is really awkward for that purpose. It's not a video editing
software, it never was.

Cinelerra is what I've played with, not sure if there's a Windows version
though (but I think there is). It's OSS and supposed to be quite good,
but the learning curve is pretty steep.

mencoder will create MPEG-2 files just fine. IIRC, Windows version
available.

No if it was you could work and mix multiple files, but if you just want
to trim the "Is it on?" at the beginning or take out that guy making rude
gestures at the camera or make it look like the Queen is storming out of a
photo session rather then into one; then it'll do that with relative ease.
For what it sounds like Andy wants to do I agree it won't work, but it
could be used to clean up his separate files first.

My laptop came with Roxio's MyDvd Basic installed. No idea how much it is to
but. I've only used it once (convert 2 DivX encoded videos to a DVD so my
parents could watch them)

For Windows, I use ULead Movie Factory. I tried about a dozen different
such programs (a few years back, mind), and ULead's software was the
only one that didn't give me artifacts. Everyone else's "best" quality
was worse than ulead's "smallest" quality - I suspect ulead was the only
one generating B frames.
Other than that, google around. Most of the programs have free demos
that'll only do like 5 minutes at a time.

It's not feature creep if you put it
at the end and adjust the release date.

iMovie or iDVD or something like that on Macs. (Comes with?)
Windows Movie Maker (comes with Windows XP, IIRC, or is a free download).

Hmm. In line with this, just wondering if there is some way to feed
something through it to fix a problem I have? My father, being a major
dope about video cameras, treated it like a picture camera and recorded
sections of videos sideways... I know in theory that you could pull the
audio out, strip the stream down to individual frames, rotate those to a
normal orientation, then restream it all, but I wasn't sure if there was
any way to use VirtualDub or one of the other free tools that exist to
manage that. Its certainly not something you are going to run into often
enough for them to have provided a way to fix this in the software that
came with it. Which isn't that bad, once you get past the confusion of
how to crop out bits you don't want (you have to select the part you
want to keep, not get rid of, which to me is completely backwards).

I recall there being a 'rotate' filter in VirtualDub.
