  I have actually edited video files with a hex editor. (VirtualDub is not
a video editing software, just an extremely primitive video re-encoding
tool, and hence it's extremely picky about things. For example if you want
to append one video to another, they must have the exact same framerate.
There aren't many video editing software out there that allows you to go
and just change the framerate setting of a video file, so a hex editor is
handy for this, once you know which values in the header of the file you
have to change.)

  So if my text editor support hex-editing, why shouldn't I edit such a
video file with it?
