video editing software?

[child of 2]

I'm trying to process some large volume media (about 10 g). I've tried Windows Media Editor, but that thing takes for ever to load anything. Ezvid is good all around, except for the fact that you can't keep the original audio from the video, but instead have to choose from their list of elevator music to substitute as your audio, which is pretty f-ing stupid. Other good software cost around $500 or more. Anyone know of a good, simple video editing software that could be able to handle say a 10 g file? I'm trying to trim it down, and maybe eventually add some music if I have the time to do so.

I don't know about how it handles really large files, but I've always used OpenShot for video editing with great success.  It's free/open source and way better than the windows movie maker crap (or whatever they're calling it now).
