I'm curious about what people use for video editing in Linux.

I'll take it up part way through the process.
Let's say I have a video already on the hard drive. If the video is already to size (720 x 480) then no problem. If it is not then I may as well calculate what size I would like to be able to see the whole video on a TV screen. Black bars of 40 pixels on the sides seems good for most TVs. I haven't figured out how many for the top and bottom yet. mencoder can expand and scale the video to what I need.
If it's short clips then the quickest way to get it to the standard video DVD format is for me to move the file(s) to the new Mac. Then run iDVD. I've installed the Perian set of codecs so everything works fine. I'd like to see something with at least as much functionality under Linux. Much less hassle to do it with Linux up to that point.
