YMMV but I was unable to do any editing under wine. I did three things ... Install vbox from oracle. BUY a copy of XP and use that. Worked well. Get a native dmg of avidemux which has a nice transcode stack and works well. install ffmpeg from macports (I think it includes mjpegtools, but in any event mjpegtools) which worked very very well. Needless to say I am a CLI geek and ffmpeg has a CLI from hell. See http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/MEncoder/Tips_and_Tricks which was also useful to me.
