Avidemux is a good flexible editor that has been recommend here many
times. It's especially good for chopping portions of a video without
needing to reencode the result. Also good for combining separate
audio and video into a single file. Unfortunately its unintuitive
interface could use improvement.

I kept having problems with the program messing up files (losing the
soundtrack or video portions), so I removed the program from my
computer. There are other options out there.

I don't know of any other freeware editor that can chop, append and
a/v multiplex the variety of file types Avidemux can without
reencoding.

Avidemux can also convert a variety of file types by reencoding, but
plenty of other freeware apps can do that more intuitively.

Perhaps so, but my needs aren't that complex. The program's confusing
interface and continual generation of bad output, IMO, makes it not
worth installing.

I finally installed Super(c) and found that it does the job very well.
