Does anyone know where I can find some free video editing software?

All I need to do is trim video for youtube, and maybe add a soundtrack.  My upload speed available is painfully slow (About 1.5 hours for a 10 minute video.) so I would rather edit everything before I upload it.

Windows Movie Maker is free and decent enough.  The name is different depending on what OS you're running though.  What OS do you have?

It is, but it does not support .MOD extensions (what my camcorder uses).

Try changing the extension of your file to .MPG and see if that lets you open it with Windows Movie Maker.  If that doesn't work, try changing the extension to .M2T.

Just rename it.

Just rename it.





Exactly.  For example, if the original name of the file is somename1.MOT, just right-click it, select "Rename" from the context menu and then type over the MOT part of the file name so that you end up with somename1.MPG.  When you press "Enter" to finish renaming, Windows will pop up a warning message saying something like "If you change a file name extension, the file might become unusable.  Are you sure you want to change it?"  Click "Yes".
