No freeware or cheap (< $30) MPEG editors??

I've been looking for an MPEG editor. Windows XP has one that would be
GREAT except for the fact that it only saves edited files in .WMV format.

Tightwad that I am, I looked everywhere I could think of for a free MPEG
editor, and found none. I looked for one from $10 and under, for $20 and
under, and finally for $30 and under, but I haven't been able to find
anything yet.

They usually cost $40-50 or more, and while they might be worth it with all
the many features they have, I hate paying for all those features I don't
want and won't use.

Doesn't anyone have a simple, cheap MPEG editor?

If the editing you want to do only requires making cuts, then there
are a number of choices available. see www.videohelp.com
If you want a cheap Editor that can do what MS Movie Maker
can do, but also output MPEG try this:

Use the Froogle feature of Google. Using "Video Deluxe 2.0
Plus" I found a good 32 track editing program with a built-in
Ligos "Go-Motion" MPEG encoder for $9.95. You should be
still able to find it for under $15.

Luck;
