General video editing#

Since 2008 I used Adobe Elements. This was at that time the one I liked most.
Since October 2012 I switched to Cyberlink PowerDirector 11 Ultra.
This was a very good choice:

• it is up to date with the formats
• scales very good / pretty fast (seems to work in 64bit on my Win7 64bit and all 8 cores of my Intel i7-2600 are up to 100% while rendering)
• much more easy and intuitive editing
• astonishing effects and editing possibilities

Windows Movie Maker#

Is not installed by default, but you can download it for free.

Fraps#

Default game recording software. Works quite well, but you need to buy it. (Forget to try all those "free" versions!) The video is recoded as AVI(OpenDML):

video	codec=FPS1, current screen resolution (1920x1080), 30fps, YUV
audio	PCM, 48KHz, 1536Kps, Stereo

Cyberlink PowerDirector 11 and MovieMaker failed to open/show this video. So you need to trancode it.

• Freemake Video Converter was ok, but the installation tries to add lots of bulk stuff (avoidable)
• VLC Media Player is not just playing everything, but also converting: Menu > File > Convert/Save > Convert...
  • Small: Container MP4/MOV, Video H-264,not used,not used,25fps,auto,auto,auto

After converting you can edit it with any software.
