Help. I just took my first tape with my new camcorder and made an avi file to eventually put on dvd. But I want to edit out the bad parts (people walked in front of camera, I put on lens cap before turning off camera, etc.). I got as far as getting the avi file on the timeline but I have never done anything like this before. How do I remove chunks of video from the file?

We recently published an article that explains how to do this - https://www.deskshare.com/resources/articles/vem_EditingTechniques_removeunnecessaryfootage.aspx
