CNET Editors' review
It doesn't seem like it should be that difficult to merge to multiple video files into one, but without the right software, this task can be a real pain. Fortunately, Video Edit Master makes this task manageable even for people who know absolutely nothing about video editing. A quick trip to the Help file might be required, but just about anyone can use Video Edit Master to combine videos -- or even parts of videos -- into one finished product.
Video Edit Master's interface isn't particularly flashy or sophisticated, but it's easy to navigate. Simply select the source files you want to work with and then use arrow buttons to either add them to the list of files to merge or move them over to the video editor. The editor lets you select specific chunks of videos and add them to the merge list, which is great if you want to cut out commercials or other undesired material. Once you have all your source video ready to go, simply arrange it all in the proper order and click Make Movie. The program will prompt you to choose a file name and a destination location, giving you an option to save your new video as an MPEG or AVI. There are a couple of extras that make Video Edit Master particularly nice to work with: when editing, you can increase the play rate of your video, which makes it easier to deal with large files; and video volume can also be muted or adjusted. Neither of these features affects the final video, but they do make the editing process a little easier. Overall, Video Edit Master isn't going to meet the needs of people who do heavy-duty editing, but it's a great choice for casual users who simply need to merge a few videos into one file.
Video Edit Master comes as a ZIP file. It installs a desktop icon without asking but uninstalls cleanly.

"Wish all video editors were this simple!"
Version: Video Edit Master 2.0
Pros
Very, very easy to use
Uses very little system resourcesCons
Only works with avi & mpg
Will not join videos with different resolutions
No option to edit/remove audioSummary
I've used this little editor for several years now and despite testing out various other video editing softwares I have as yet found nothing that rivals it. If it doesn't work when you first install it you probably just need an Xvid codec pack installed on your PC (these are also usually free and easy to find/download). If it handled mp4 (or even mkv) files and allowed editing of audio it would simply be perfect.

Cons
everything looks fine from within the program but when you output it, the segments start and stop at the wrong place

DEFECTIVE. The uninstaller will mess up your system ,too. -
"It joins video - that's about it!"
Version: Video Edit Master 2.0
Pros
It joins MPEG video files
Cons
It duplicates the files throughout the video!
Summary
While this program did join files together, they were in the wrong order and files from an earlier part of the video suddenly reappeared later into the project, meaning that this program was not fit for purpose and in my opinion totally useless!
