Open Source Video Editing
There are many good video editors on the market and many of you no doubt have your favorite. If you're a Macintosh user you probably are familiar with i-Movie and it's a great product. It ships with every new Macintosh. On the Microsoft Windows side of the house there is Windows Movie Maker.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.

Kino is very basic
Kino is great at what it does it is very basic though.A more fully featured editor is http://www.kdenlive.org/
It crashes sometimes but has a decent user interface and some more advanced features.
Off the top of my head:
CinelerraOpen Movie Editor
KDEnlive
LiVES
Jahshaka
These are closer to iMovie or Windows Movie Maker than Kino, which focuses on grabbing and exporting the video from the camera.
Decent editors
Cinelerra - I along with many others find the interface horrible. The underlying code is a bit of a mess and development is very slow.I think the interface takes a while to get used to. Then once you are used to the interface, you will notice how often it crashes. Then you will become annoyed.
Open Movie Editor - Fine if you are looking for a very basic editor.
KDEnlive - Sill buggy but IMHO the best of the bunch.
LiVES- Not there yet.
Jahshaka - A horrible horrible program. Buggy, difficult to get running, and not worth the bother when you do.
KDEnlive, definitely, but still needs work
Have to agree her - KDEnlive is the best of these. Still crashing too often, though. Very touchy when moving tracks around...Kino is not bad if you accept its somehow unnatural way of video editing.
crap
I hate to say it but most of this is crap. I use Linux for absolutely everything but I'm probably going to virtualize Windows to do my video editing. If you want to just suck video in from a camera and resave it as something else they're fine. If you want to do any real amount of work on the video (think Final Cut) then you're screwed. I'm sure they'll get there one day but for now they're just not that good.For those of you who insist in editing video on Linux I'd say Kdenlive is by far the best. .7 beta is showing promise but make sure you save often.
Blender!
I use the Blender sequence editor. It a ton more stable than any of the other Linux video editors that I've tried.udev
Hey Don!-
You should be able to leverage udev to create the /dev nodes for your IEEE-1394 devices:
-
Under /etc/udev/rules.d create a file named 10-ieee1394.rules with something like:
-
KERNEL=="raw1394", NAME="%k", GROUP="users"
-
where "users" is the actual group of the folks doing the editing. You can even add a mode="0xxx" to control its permissions:
-
KERNEL=="raw1394", NAME="%k", GROUP="users", MODE="0666"
-
for example.
-
Under the 2.6 kernel, hotplugging for IEEE-1394 should support plugging in your DV camcorder and hitting the ground running without manual intervention or logging out/in.
-
If your distro has an /etc/hotplug directory you could try adding to /etc/hotplug/ieee1394/ a file named raw1394 to see if plugging in your camcorder would trigger Kino's opening directly:
-
#!/bin/bash
if [ "${ACTION}" = "add" ]; then
kino
fi

replica bags
Your comments on this question are pertinent replica bags .And people always do things like and they don't know what they replica handbags are doing at the same time .It is a really common fault .
