VideoSpin 2.0 adds 3GP, Real, MOV, and widescreen YouTube support
VideoSpin is the free video editor that I kind of wish Windows Movie Maker was. It's easy to use, and it doesn't lock up on me the way Windows Movie Maker likes to after I've made a few splices. I first checked out VideoSpin back in early 2008, but today Pinnacle has released an updated version that adds a handful of new features and support for a bunch of new video formats.
VideoSpin 2.0 includes support for YouTube's new higher quality video player. You can upload your finished videos directly to YouTube in widescreen and higher quality formats. You can also import and export .MOV video files, which comes in handy if you have a digital camera that records in Quicktime format.
The basic video editor is available as a free download, but you can also pay for advanced codec support which will allow you to exprt videos in 3GP or Real Media formats. The SpinPack codec pack also adds the ability to save DivX videos or configure your videos for the iPod or PSP. Of course, you can also just save your videos as MPG or AVI files and then use a free video converter like Virtualdub to save convert your files to DivX or XviD. But VideoSpin is aimed at less tech savvy users looking for an all-in-one solution.

Real nice... if you like a huge eyegrabbing ad right in the center of the application. Even Windows Movie Maker doesn't punch you in th eeye like Video Spin does. This puppy comes right off my machine.

Real nice... Except for the huge rolling gif ad right in the middle of the editing field. It may be free, but it is way crass. So back to Windows Movie Maker for me, for all it's faults. This VideoSpin puppy comes off the machine after a 10 minute sojourn. 162Mb of wasted bandwidth.
What is Pinnacle thinking? That people who edit video have no visual sensibility? Punch me in the eye why don't ya?

"today Pinnacle has released an updated version.. "
Really? I've been using V 2.0 (2.0.0.669 precisely) since February '09.
And for SteveB, I'm not sure what is your system configuration, but VideoSpin is far more superior than WMM. The only thing I don't like from VidepSpin is the interface can't be maximized!
