Question: How to Combine MP4 Clips and then to WMV & AVI

Hi folks,

I think as I get older I forget how I used to do things ... so I need some suggestions from you people on the following items ...

I have 9 video clips that each is 25MB with the following properties:

- Video: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC; 415Kbps; 25fps; 352x288
- Audio: 44100; 94Kbps; MPEG-4 AAC LC

What I like to do is Trim some of these MP4 clips and then add them together and then convert the final MP4 to both .WMV and .AVI (may be in XviD).

In all of this cases if freeware is not available then recommend something else!


Q1: What is the Best of way doing this to yield the Best Quality output?
Combine MP4s 1st then Convert OR Acovert to AVI then Combine then convert to WMV?

Q2: What is the Best freeware to Edit/Trim MP4 video clips?

Q3: What is the Best freeware to combine several MP4 video clips?

Q4: What Freeware is best for converting MP4s to AVI with great Quality?

Q5: What Freeware is best for converting MP4s to WMV with great Quality?

Or simply tell me YOUR Preferred Method!

Thanks,

G!

Avidemux, http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/. I would do the editing before anything else.

Forgot about the conversion.
