Edit a MPEG Video

Can anybody point me in the direction of a Freeware MPEG editor.

I have a movie which needs to be edited and made shorter.

Is there also a way of reducing the size of the MPEG file in the way you can resize a JPEG without loosing too much of the quality?

Thanks for your help.

    Hi! This will only apply if your using a copy of XP - It has a utility in it called movie maker which can be used to edit, if you import your movie into its collection thing. Then on the save as movie file dialogue you can re save it as a different quality, or even give it a file size to match!

    Otherwise try Major Geeks, they have a lot of good gear to download for free there.
