Edit videos on your computer

[Cyclups]

Hello everybody.

Me and girlfriend got a camcorder for Christmas and now I would like to be able to edit, cut, etc. on my computer. When I put on videos from the camera (dvdrv disc) it put everything in a VIDEO_TS folder with a bunch of different file formats, ranging from VOB, TS, IFO to BUP. Open the VIDEO_TS folder in VLC it will be like a real DVD, you can select the chapter, etc.

Now I want to know if you somehow can edit them in simple terms? Will it be more difficult due to file formats? Can something be done about the films to a single file, instead of 15-20 PC of large files in various formats?

So come on and help me now, I know there are knowledgeable here, have seen you write about similar stuff.

Grateful for response.

Thanks for your response, SpearMan!
I think almost everything I need, see the two links, they looked very promising.

However, so I am happy to receive views and so if there are easier ways than others or better than others.

Some tips:

• Save your movie often. Save it in multiple files, so that you can always go back to an older version.
  
  
• Begin by playing around with the various tools. The best way to learn with something like this is to be hands on.
  
  
• Go into the community! More often than not people will help you on most forums, and more specifically the gaming or technology forums.
  
  
• If you don't know how to do something, look for a tutorial. Chances are you will find the tutorial you need from a Google search or on a site like YouTube.
