>>Which one have you personally used and found easy to edit an MP4 file (in Windows)?

>Used VirtualDub (open source) for a while, but it's only for removing stuff, i.e. cutting out scenes you don't want. If you want to move them around, mix sound differently etc, you need a real editor.

Also, its names for places where what goes confused me thoroughly - one of those which complicates things by trying to hide the filesystem from the user - so for some things I never found where it put the end result.

My editing need is very simple. I just want to make a 10-15 min video out of 2 hour video. Just cut a lot of stuff out. No other features.
Thank you for your input.
