What are some good freeware/ open source video editing software?

What I want to do is have two different videos playing simultaneously in one video… kinda like brady bunch has 8 people on screen at once in their opening.

1) Jahshaka
Jahshaka is a free multi-use offline editing tool. Although it is still fairly new on the market.

2) T@B ZS4
T2B ZS4 is a free video editing and compositing tool from Zwei-Stein. Its not for everyone, but it could be for you.

3) Wax
A free tool with powerful editing and compositing abilities.

4) Video Spin

5) Vivia
Vivia is a basic editing software which is currently being developed and is in Beta testing. If you are using Linux or Windows you might want to check this out

6) Avidemux
One of the more stable and complete free tools available.

7) Blender
Blender is a powerful, multi-use editing/compositing and modeling tool. It’s one of the best on the market and it’s free.
