decent free AVI editor for win98?

Hey I'm looking for a decent free AVI editor for win98.

I've tried several listed in the multi-media section of major geeks and they all have problems of some kind, avidemux, avitricks and blaze had issues. The first two wouldn't recognize my AVI which plays fine. Blaze didn't setup properly.

I just need to cut sections of a video out at specific points. Selective re-joining would be nice too.

any suggestions?

Perhaps you will have better luck on that forum. Very large and active 98SE community.

Good Luck

I haven't used it with w98 but it says "All Windows" in the description....
Good luck!

 

I mentioned in my post I allready tried avidemux and it wouldn't recognize the video..

 

Windows Movie Maker 2.1 runs fine in a Windows 98 OS.

Operating system
Required: Windows 98 or later or Windows NT® 4.0 or later
Recommended: Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional​

actually the windows movie maker page says

Operating system
Requirement: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional

it says win98 is fine for movie playback only, which is weird, why would you get the program just for playback.

unless you've used the program for editing yourself in 98.


"The following software is required to play back a movie:
•Operating system
Required: Windows 98 or later or Windows NT® 4.0 or later
Recommended: Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional"


and is that even AVI?

 

I'm sorry. I didn't see that. There's a Vista version also but that can't help you...

 

There's a free program called ZS4 (link: http://www.majorgeeks.com/ZS4_d4825.html ) but it's more of a professional/studio type of video editor. I'm sure it will do whatever it is you need to do, and probably a whole lot more. Personally, I haven't used it, but I know they have a VERY extensive selection of tutorials and how-to guides at their web site; here's a link to their tutorials page: http://www.zs4.net/tutorials?PHPSESSID=b36726f2776d4c5bc80a553b88663d98

I hope this helps! Good luck! :-D

(VirtualDub also works with Win98, but here at MajorGeeks, it says Win2000/XP/Vista, but if you go to the VirtualDub Home Page it says it's compatible with all Windows including 95/98/Me in the first line at the top of the page )

 

I've always liked Quick Media Converter and it's supposed to work with all versions of Windows.

 

VirtualDub! I used it on my old Windows 98.

Don't forget to set the compression settings or you'll get a huge file. Like 15 gigs for a friggen 10 minute video.
