This listing is for not just a video editing program, but a whole suite of programs that can be used to edit videos. AVIDemux is actually open source software so anyone can just download it from the developers site for free and all anyone needs to do is do a google search for AVIDemux to find the software site. So there are plenty of sellers that are selling a single software program on some media that can also have so much more on it. The reality is that there are several open source video editing programs for Windows and macOS and you are paying for either a CD/DVD or USB flash drive with several related programs so you can try and use any or all of them and not just one program like so many others offer.
