You may be curious about Lightworks, a new (potentially) open source video editing application for Windows. I tried it today and the verdict so far is: don't bother. You have to register to download, which I did. Then download and install the codecs first, then install Lightworks, then right-click and run as administrator. So far so good. But then nothing works. It wouldn't import .mov files at all, even with the codecs. It then complained about the frame rate for .avi files, and when I fixed that, failed with an unknown error. Attempts to record from the webcam were similarly futile.
