What's a cheap way to edit .mov video files?

I am a video-challenged techno geek.  A contractor created for us a 13-minute 760MB .mov (Quicktime) video, which we wish to publish on our web site.  Youtube is limited to 10 minutes.  Vimeo is limited to 500MB per week.   www.TeacherTube.com is limited to 100MB per file.  Therefore, I need a way to compress or reduce the size of this movie file so I can upload it. 

Can you recommend free-ware software that I can obtain, or can I come into your studio and get this thing down to size?

Thanks.

UnPlug Firefox Extension

Submitted by New Media Rights on Mon, 03/24/2008 - 10:20

From the site:

UnPlug is an extension which lets you save video and audio which is embedded on a webpage - it's a video download tool.

UnPlug scans web pages and tells you where media players are getting their data from, and displays it as a simple hyperlink: in most cases, you can then follow the simple download link to save the media file.

UnPlug works for lots of sites including youtube.com, ifilm.com, current.tv, revver.com, peekvid.com, video.google.com, mobuzztv.com and lots, lots more.

Unlike many other extensions, UnPlug scans the page, and if it doesn't know there the data comes from it can guess - correctly most of the time.
