As soon as I read the topic title I thought of Audacity, but you got there first

GIMP (Gnu image manipulation program). If you are a hobby-photographer, you can spend your money for a good camera instead for expensive software. Has nothing to do with Gnus.

UBUNTU installed with WUBI installer. ubuntu is a very succesful version of LINUX (free alternative operating system for PCs). Normally you add it as a second OS to your windows by dividing your harddrive into several partitions. This can cause problems, if you want finally remove it from your PC for example. If you install it with the WUBI-installer, you can uninstall it like a usual windowsprogram.

Not really. The free version added a vocal "Recorded using AVS Recording System" to the begining of each track AND, at intervals, overtop of the music. You have to buy it, to get rid of the voice.

Then I guess it does not apply as free, in the sense we want, but good try...

Thanks, today I used gimp, recommended above!

Maybe this works:

U also can download clips via http://keepvid.com/ as mp4.
Another free video converter is http://www.virtualdub.org/ (also included in the http://www.lupopensuite.com/index.htm like GIMP and many more).
I don't knoe, if any of these can convert to animated GIF. GIMP can make such GIFs, u need to import each single image as layer in GIMP, depending on the number of frames u need, it would be a very endless work...
Edith says: U can drag and drop the single images alltogether into the layer-window of GIMP, i just tried it (u can use SUPER for example to convert a video into a stack of single images). If there existed no easier to use converter, this should be a possible way.
