You can also crop, scale, change luminosity, brightness, etc., (again, you'll need to read the manual, in Linux something something like "man mplayer" will do ). Also using mencoder you can convert between several formats. I have not used the windows version but presumably works just as the linux version. Check out www.mplayerhq.hu/ Open source rocks!
