Good program for simple video editing

[thephilosophizer]

I am looking for some suggestions for a good program to do some simple video editing, not like making dvds, but just editing short 5-10min clips. Any suggestions?

Windows movie maker does the trick for me, free easy and most likely already installed on your PC

I think I need something slightly more robust, one thing I need to be able to do is change the orientation (rotate the picture).

Playing Video in Windows Media Player

You can rotate video clips in Windows Movie Maker by doing the following:
1.
Import the video clip into Windows Movie Maker.
2.
Drag the imported video clip and drop it onto the timeline.
3.
On the Tools menu, click Video Effects.
4.
To rotate the video clip to the right, drag the Rotate 90 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.
-or-
To rotate the video clip to the left, drag the Rotate 270 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.
5.
On the File menu, click Save Movie File and follow the instructions in the Save Movie Wizard.
For detailed instructions, see Windows Movie Maker Help.
