Windows Media Centre in Windows 7 & 8 uses a propriety format called WTV, but there are not many video editors that can read this format natively. You usually use Windows' built-in tool to convert WTV into DVR-MS first (as used by WMC in XP & Vista) before editing and re-encoding.
This tool from Aiseesoft claims to edit and re-encode WTV files in one step. I have not tried it yet but for $0, why not get the licence key anyway. And unlike other BitsDuJour software, the licensing terms are generous.
