Freeware for Video editing that will load mp4's

I downloaded these programs.  Will they load an mp4?    Are there any other programs?

Here's a summary of my equipment and what I want to do:

* I have a server running on Windows Server 2003.   32 bit
* I have a laptop (Lenovo T61) running on Windows 7 32 bit.

My goal is to create a music video and to be able to crop it and align the music.  Specifically...

a) I record my performance on a Sony Bloggie AND some very nice audio recording equipment.    I end up with an mp4 and a wav file.
b) I want to align both files and to use only the video portion from the Bloggie.
c) I want to crop the video.
d) I'd like to be able to add text.

I did video/audio alignment in Premiere and it was quite easy.  But I don't have Premiere any longer.   The audio/video alignment for my use needs to be very accurate.  Will this represent a problem in WLMM?  If so, I'll just go and buy Premiere.
I do not see any problems however I can't see what you have there or what you have done to make this wav.
To clarify
a) I record my performance on a Sony Bloggie AND some very nice audio recording equipment.    I end up with an mp4 and a wav file.
Go ahead and try it  RaiderNationDelegate, since you already have the video and a wav file you wish to use,
 open WLMM and drop your mp4 on and then the audio, drag the audio to the spot where it matches, you can play it back any time to test it.
If this wav is an exact extract from this clip they should align fine,
 I'd look at the time frame, when you drop your video onto the video time line
 the media player on the left shows the time frame > duration of the clip. note the duration of this audio and line that up.
