I am writing from Delhi, and find your mail interesting and inspiring. Though I am not in a position to help you but I can suggest you few more useful software.
Lives [http://www.xs4all.nl/~salsaman/lives/] (it supports loading and editing of most video formats).
Cine Paint [http://cinepaint.sourceforge.net/]
Audacity [http://audacity.sourceforge.net/]
I am sure some one from Calcutta will help you to run and test these software.
I personally congratulate you for your decision to use Linux environment. We publish books every year. This time we published book on media. You could have a look. http://www.sarai.net/journal/reader4.html
