For simple editing use Avidemux.
Format Factory or Handbrake for video converting.

My coverter of choice is Any Video Coverter. Although I too feel Handbrake and Format Factory are the best out there although I donot use them.

In Video Conversion...nothing can be as good as Handbrake & Freemake Video Converter
there are other Free Converters Format Factory & SUPER which I had used & they were good but after using Handbrake & Freemake I use only these two

My coverter of choice is Any Video Coverter. Although I too feel Handbrake and Format Factory are the best out there although I donot use them.

For video editing I recommend Virtual Dub even though it has a sparse interface.. you can also try AVIDEMUX. For video conversion I recommend Handbrake. Here is the guide.

If you are comfortable with serious editing software you can try Lightworks it went opensource not so long ago

What is the Video Quality when edited?
Does it match with different types of background seamlessly?

Even i have this confusion which is the best, but for the fastest, i would say Wondershare Video Converter, it's really fast than any other video converters, but unfortunately lacks the customization... :(

Nothing beats ffmpeg. Thats it.
Only good audio/video processors other than ffmpeg are, Handbrake, Avidemux, Tencoder and MeGUI. But yes, I reiterate, ffmpeg is the father and mother of all multimedia processor softwares out there.

Does the converted video not look like a typical red-cyan video? Google for some sample images.

I know what red-cyan video/image is called..
I have 5/6 movies of this type and more than 100 of images in my collection..Like 1. John Carter 2. Piranha 3. Clash of the titan etc.
BTW the converted video looks like red-cyan without glass but when i use those spectacles it looks like normal video..also this video was converted to wondershare's red-cyan type .MP4 (you know there are two formats for 3D in this software).
Anyway can you please suggest any player that can play normal 2D to 3D. (except S Player).

Can avidemux be used for simple cutting/merging and adding text to videos??? Is there any freeware which allows to convert a video to black/white?
