Here is a
tutorial about making clips using Windows Movie Maker. It's a simple program (there aren't many effects and options), but I made most of my videos using it. It's user friendly and even beginners can use it with success. Just make sure to save your project every few minutes, because it has an annoying tendency to freeze at the most inopportune times.
I don't know if there're episodes clips available. I ripped the episodes from my DVDs using FairUse. See
this thread (Poussin's posts are very enlightening).
Hope this helps.
