Recommendations on software to edit and/or convert movies?

[Kevin O'Gorman]

I've got a "footage" from a couple of digital cameras, and i want to make
sense of this stuff.
One produces .avi files, which work fine when I send them to family members
with Windoze machines.

The other produces MP4s, which requires added software on Windoze.  Is there
some way to
convert MP4 -> AVI.  While I'm at it, a lot of this stuff is boring and
could really benefit from some
editing.  All I have on my Ubuntu system is players, not editors; they seem
happy with either format,
but I need to send this stuff to folks who are clue challenged.

Can someone recommend conversion software, and maybe editing?
