Vista - Can I edit .AVI film clips?

I used my Fujifilm digital camera to record 3 brief film clips.
DSCF8371.AVI is 15 seconds long. When I double click on it, it plays with
Windows Media Player, including sound. I want to clip off the last 10
seconds, so I can email a shorter clip to my relatives. Can I do this
somehow? I have Vista Home Premium. If possible, I'd like to concatenate
two other 1 second clips to the front of the 5 second film clip. How? TIA,
Paul

==============================
Try importing the clips into Movie Maker...

Thanks John, that did just what I wanted. Now I need a codec (whatever that
is) to enable Vista's Movie Maker to read a 3GP file that came from my
Motorola V551 cell phone.

===========================
A google search for 'convert 3gp'
turns up articles like the following...
maybe it will offer some ideas:

What is 3G, 3GP? How to convert 3GP file to AVI file?
