Free video editing software for old Go Pro Hero?

I was given an old Hero to try out on my bike, and managed (after a bit of faffing) to get some footage from the ride. The files are MP4 and huge, however. It's about 12gb in total, but I only want to extract a small amount. What sotware would you recommend?

Can you actually get that download button to work? I'm using firefox, and it doesn't do anything.

Appreciated! For whatever reason, the software will let me load the MP4 files, but it wont let me view them, so I can't edit or convert them. No idea why. Bizarre.

yes, can see them that way, and can play them too. But I get an empty screen when it comes to viewing via the Go Pro software..

Cheers that worked a treat. The only thing now, is the files once edited are still large. 936MB to be precise. Is there any way I can convert that down, so that I can stream/post it on facebook etc?
