You don't say what format your data is in, nor what kind of editing
you want to do[1]. However, assuming MPEG2 video as your input format:
- Handbrake will do cropping and encoding to MPEG4 profiles only
(XviD or H.264 profiles)
- avidemux will give you non-linear access to the material, and allow
cropping, removal of segments, and encoding to almost any other
video form. It will also give you the ability to do GOP-level edits
of MPEG2 material with no re-encoding.
There's other packages out there that may be more suited to what
you need to do (pitivi, possibly), but I've not really used those.

[1] Some or all of: cropping the frame; top-and-tail segments of
footage; re-ordering of the material; fades and wipes; titling; adding
static interstitial footage...
