    I have a video of a concert that the group wants it simply edited removing some songs and possibly rearranging the order
    I first tried VSDC and found it just a bit too complicated. I tried following You Tube tutorials but none seemed to work the way I wanted so I thought to look for a program that would simply cut sections into individual tracks, delete the unwanted ones and join up those wanted ones. No additional bells and whistles to complicate things.

    I thought I found the solution with Movavi which seems to do all I want but asks £42 to remove restrictions
    I'm only doing it as a favour to the group and will probably not need it again. They wont want to pay so much'

    I then tried Windows movie maker. Added the video files which I can watch and mark sections for deletion bit there is no sound and I tried everything to include it but was unsuccessful. I cant edit it properly without sound

    Does anyone know of an open source program that's simple to use. I don't mind making a contribution but not as much as £42 for a one time use
    My computer isn't so sophisticated either
    It's a Compaq with a Pentium G64ST 2.50Ghz with 8.00 GB (7.87 GB usable)
    Windows 10 home 64 bit

    I've only ever joined files and this was extremely easy. (I only needed to use this for a few files and din't want to have to learn something I wasn't going to use again.

    Perhaps the splitter would allow you to remove what you don't want.
    This is what it looks like

    As far as rearranging, you simply places the pieces you want, in the order you want them and they are then joined in that order.

    Hi, I found just what I was looking for, a program that allowed me to make one complete video project without restrictions. From then on I'd have to pay
    Problem now is I need to convert the mp4 to vob
    All the so called free software I found has it's catches. Either the length is restricted or a watermark is imposed
    Is there a program that is really free
    I'm not being a cheapskate but its only for this one time use
