What model do you have? If you have the original, you can use window movie maker. If you have the HD version, you can use windows movie maker after you convert it to something other than mp4. I have not tried to edit video in windows 7 yet, but it is supposed to be able to support the mp4 format. I use aviforyou to convert the format from mp4 to wmv files. We just got a new laptop so I will need to see what I can do with that. If you have an apple product, you should be fine.
