All of these are free[1] and open-sourced programs just waiting for a competent hacker to mix and match them. For my admittedly simple editing needs, my tool chain is limited to mplayer (recoding) and avidemux (editing). Now I can purge those nasty commercials from my copy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and get a nice fuzzy DivX (or something compatible).
