DVD Flick (www.dvdflick.net)
If you have a number of video files of various formats clogging up your hard drive, use DVD Flick to turn them into a fun home movie. With the open-source software, any video you can view on your PC can be burned onto disc, and personalized audio and subtitles can be added.

Motionbox (www.motionbox.com)
Motionbox might be the simplest-to-use video editing tool on the Web—and most of its features are free. After you upload videos, you get a frame-by-frame view that makes cutting and reordering scenes a breeze.
