Software and Tools

VirtualDubVirtualDub is a basic video encoding tool - it will let you trim off some of the fat videos get, and get rid of some of those little mistakes that happen. You can save out to various file formats, and it's great for lowering the memory size of your Muvizu videos! It's not a video editor per say, but it's definitely something you'll find useful to have.
