How do you guys edit race videos?
Somewhat race related.
I took some in car video of a track day this past weekend for the first time on a non tape camera (trying out some "new" technology
). I want to delete the sections of me in the pits in the beginning and end but when I open the .avi file in Windows Movie Maker (only program I have cause it came on the computer) I only have audio and no video. Should it be saved as a different file type or is there a better free program to use?

i've used a few different programs now and so far am liking the newest one I got: Pinnacle Ultimate...after using and playing around with a few different ones, it's easy to navigate and use and has a lot of extra type of utilities in it that I'll never use :o

I'm suspect that MM is the problem if you're getting video and no audio - especially since it's an AVI file. FWIW there is new version of MM for free download as part of Windows Live Essentials (http://get.live.com)

I use a mini-DV camera and have no issues at all...just plug and record. MM does have an import feature so you can convert any file you want though.

Though I need to boot up in Windoze instead of Linux to use it.

Im running 64 bit Vista and the codecs I found are only for 32 bit. I found though that if I change the extension from .avi to .mpeg it works no problem so Ill just do that from now on. Thanks guys.
