Wondering if the Massive Hive-Mind could help me out.
I have a Nokia N8 phone which records rather decent HD quality video in a MP4 format. It does have a rather nifty edit app on it but it's a bit fiddly for someone with my massive fingers to use.

What I was after was a simple video editing program what will allow me to just crop an existing file and save it in the same format without any loss of quality. So far all the free downloads I've found either don't save as MP4 or if they do degrade the quality from HD to SD.

For reference I'm using a PC with Windows 7. A freebie would be nice but I'll buy something if I must.

Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated

Then there's the business with The Who t-shirt....

Proving the old adage that death can be a great career move, I note with little suprise that 15 of the 20 current top selling CDs are by the newly departed Mr Jackson. What entirely I fail to understand is why this happens. I mean, if you were a fan, surely you would already own these records [we're not talking about any "new" or hastily cobbled together tribute package here] and if you weren't a fan, surely his death isn't suddenly make you go want to fill a large MJ shaped hole in your record collection. Or is that just me?

Posted on the twittersphere this morning, this is perfect for a sunny Tuesday.

Just watched the first episode of a new "comedy" cop show called The Unusuals and witnessed the sight of the wholesale ripping off the photocopier/lie detector gag last seen in the mighty Word's favorite tv show The Wire. Which of course was in turn nicked from Homicide:Life On The Street, but that's just David Simon stealing from himself.

To be fair to the new show, they did update the tech and use a printer/scanner.

The thing is, while I can deal with the idea of some uneducated corner mope from the wrong part of Baltimore not knowing one end of a photocopier from the other, that some middle class dude in 21st century New York would fall for the same thing just don't fly.

If the rest of the show was any good I'd say Mr Simon should sue. Fortunatly I don't think it will last long.

Radio 4's News Briefing this morning tells me that the Saxophone made it's first public appearance in an orchestra on this day in 1844.
Let us celebrate with a repost of the video of ptentially it's finest hour in the hands of The Word's very own the mighty Mark Ellen

Over at the Guardian... Springsteen says Wal-Mart album deal was mistake.

40 years ago the Beatles made their last public performance on the rooftop of their Saville Row offices.

The story of how this came about is the subject of the documentary on Radio 2 I Hope We Passed The Audition now available on the BBC iPlayer.

Star of Fantasy Island and possibly the best Star Trek movie - Wrath Of Khan.

For anyone planning to watch Jools's Annual Hootenanny tonight, whilst I don't want to spoil your enjoyment of the show, please bear in mind that it is not actually a LIVE broadcast.

This should hopefully avoid a repeat of last years unpleasantness.

HNY everyone :)

just seen on the news that Eartha Kitt has died aged 81.

This popped up on the old player just now...over 40 years old and still pertinent. Barry McGuire - "Eve of Destruction"

I see over at BBC News that
Children's author Eoin Colfer has been commissioned to write a sixth instalment of the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series

I'm not sure that this is a Good Thing and am having a somewhat Marvin like reaction.

The new coke ad featuring Jack White's Quantum of Solace music.
I gotta say the sound is very Bond.
