    If you are captureing to AVI then Virtual-Dub is good for editing AVI files but if you captured to Mpeg2 then i do not know of any good Freeware Mpeg2 editors accept the one in Tmpgenc which isn"t very reliable and can cause Sync Problems....
    There is also a Wierd Bug in the WinFast PVR Capture Software that Makes the Files go out of Sync after editing so just beware.....

    You don"t have to go Uncompressed because Uncompressed will suck up about 1.2gb per Minute of Video, you can get the same Quality as Uncompressed AVI useing the HuffYUV Lossless Codec....You can still capture to Mpeg2 Just beware that if your file goes out of Sync after editing that it is the capture Softwares Fault ,This doesn"t mean it will go out of Sync but it could, you will just have to wait and see....
