FREE video editing software that can handle High Definition (HD) videos?

Question by Hanzo: FREE video editing software that can handle High Definition (HD) videos?
Possibly any links to programs that you know are safe and free to download that allows me to edit any HD videos I might have? I have the Final fantasy Advent children movie and I want to make a music vid for it, but in windows move maker, its impossible to edit anything because it doesnt play back when I insert movie. Lags, nothing even plays so I need software to edit it.

OR I could use a converter to convert it to something windows movie player can read and playback. And what file format would be best? thanks in advance

Windows Movie Maker is currently the most popular choice for free video editing software but it doesn’t always work very well. There’s a new free video editing application that is much better.

VideoSpin is a brand new tool that allows you to create your own movie clips in minutes using your own videos and pictures.

The top 3 video edting software choices for the PC is Ulead Video Studio, Adobe Premiere Elements and Sony Vegas. These programs are not free, but you can download a free trial from their Web sites.

If your looking for free video edting software other than VideoSpin take a look at my first source.
