There are a number of specialist packages available, Quinitc, Dartfish, Silicon Coach being a few that can be used to clip the film down and help produce detailed analysis.  Alternatively you can use windows movie maker which can be used quite effectively to trim down the film.  Perhaps the easiest way though is to get someone to keep pressing record and stop for each ball to reduce the gap between each segment of action!
