Editing software for youtube videos ?

[Dicehunter]

Up until recently I was using a program called Xilisoft Video Converter that I bought some time ago but the general quality is kind of crappy to be honest.

What would a good alternative be that doesn't cost a testicle and is easy to use ?

Literally all I want to do is shrink down my videos from 2GB to something a little smaller and keep as much of the quality as possible as my upload is only 300kb so it would take an age.

Any info is appreciated

Avidemux is pretty decent too.

handbrake's free & very good for converting video - it's also pretty user friendly. Another free alternative is MeGui - has lots of options to play with but is much less user friendly to begin with.

Avidemux (also free) i tend to use for cutting video (it's quick & cuts most things whether avi, flv, mkv or mp4).
