My personal experience with Linux video editing softwares...
My personal experience is that video editing on Linux is not easy. At least not 1 and ½ year back. I may try out all of these software's again.
Finally we end up using commercial DVD authoring tools under Windows XP for creating Linux training stuff :(

Hi,
If some one wants to video / dvd authoring its very easy now. One has to use
tovid (uses mencoder libs)
dvdstyler
both opf these available in ubuntu repository
Prashant,
I will try sometime later tovid and dvdstyler.
Appreciate your post.
Video editing in linux is nowadays pretty fine. A lot of progress was made last 2 years.
I experienced Kdenlive and Kino as easy to use. I also experienced that Cinelerra is more difficult to learn , but once you know the program it is not difficult any more. It worth to study the (good) manual. You will get very nice tools.
I suppose that Lives and others are on the same level of ease as Kino and Kdenlive.
