You might consider converting to "higher quality" formats (e.g. dv)

but at least you can minimize the loss by avoiding the I-and-B-frame
problem.
That would make "scrubbing" (playing backwards, starting/stopping)
more responsive, but it would also introduce a second lossy re-coding.
If you want as little loss as possible in Cinelerra, and your source
material is not DV, I would suggest converting to a lossless format.
Currently, only uncompressed video seems workable (PNG is slow and
HuffYUV is still on the wishlist).
Uncompressed video will keep your harddrive chugging at full speed,
but it is easier on the CPU. If you have a few hundred gigabytes of
free space, uncompressed video may be the way to go.
