I intend to transfer my home digital movies to my PC, edit them and add
subtitles - then burn them to DVD's. I'm looking for a decent, free
movie editor. Any suggestions?

It may be a relatively small market for those who "add
subtitles" to their "home movies". Still, most video editing
programs have the ability to overlay text, as you may wish.

Both Apple and Microsoft offer "free" video editing
programs with their program suites.

What video and audio format(s) are your movies in?

Luck;
Ken

I use a program called DV_DATECODE.EXE that will extract the
date/time code from each frame of a DV or D8 tape. That file
can them be added as a normal, removable subtitle to the final DVD.

The program I use for the DVD authoring is called TMPGEnc Authoring
Works 4. The program is not free, but it is well worth the money. It will
handle two subtitle tracks so you can have the Date/Time on one, and
second one for anything you want to type in by hand.

which includes a powerful video converter engine for DVD that lets you

Thank you all for your suggestions. I just returned from a long trip
and will begin to look at the recommended apps immediately.
