Free ?
None.
I did find this

But note it's idea of no known limitations included having a water mark on all your videos.

hmm..the watermark is a problem...unless its a tiny one in the corner...will give it a go.

I have also found a convertor - converts AVCHD to MP4 so can be used in W moviemaker....super8...but it does kind of defeat the object of HD camcorder

I have vista and had to buy pinnacle studio 12 to edit down movies from my canon ixus 100 which were in mov format which moviemaker didn't handle
though possibly it did on windows 7 but can't remember if i tried it on the works pc which being a dell vostro business cheapy may have not had that
installed (doesn't have the games in). Fortunately 12 is only £9.67 but you would need 14 for HD which costs about £35

I take it that its not Windows 7 you have got Daz, 'Windows Live Movie Maker' supports HD but tbh the old (pre Win 7) MM is better

I'm using Vista - I did find Windows Live Movie Maker hidden away in Windows Live Folder..it does support HD and I was going great guns editing some hoiday footage..but it crashed before I saved it

also the laptop processor was struggling with it all..time for new laptop me thinks

...but your right MM is better
