[Shop-talk] Video editing help

[Jeff Scarbrough]

I use the built-in editor in Windows to clip my dashcam videos.  It
does work with MP4.  It shows a "timeline" of the movie file or clip,
and you can select points to trim the start and end points.

Windows Live Movie Maker - you may need to install it as an "app".
