Hi, I was trying to use Linux for video editing and got quite mixed results. Actually only mencoder was able to do anything for my HD video, and doing everything on command line was quite painful, although possible (and it is not that simple, you need to get some frauenhofer codecs first and convert with those before you can use even the mencoder, it is a 20 step command line process that only few dare to do).
Windows is no better, there is no software that would come for free that would allow one to edit high definition videos, and not all the commercial software even support AVCHD format. And on the other hand, not an option for me, because I don't use Windows. The author of one open source video editing software said me when I asked if he is going to support HD in the future: "Buy a Mac". So I did and have been since editing my 1080p videos on Mac with iMovie08. Unfortunately it seems like the video editing scene on Linux seems even more incomplete than the music side and there would be room for a good open source project on that area if someone is wondering what open source project to start. There is increasingly demand for that but no choices at the OSS world other than command line. Even basic functionality that the iMovie08 offers, would be excellent. Someone just needs to pick up the idea and start coding, I think nothing prevents creating a similar program than the iMovie08 or even better open source software with AVCHD and HDV support which would run under Ubuntu Studio and other Linux distributions.
