So, what do people here use for editing video?
I found a program called Virtual Dub which I use to convert a list of
stills into an animation file. I'm told it also has some kind of video
editing capabilities. (I haven't actually investigated this part yet.)
My DVD burner came with some software that will transcode video into the
secret format that DVD players will play. It also has some minimal
editing facilities. (To be honest, it seems to be more interested in
designing cute fluffy menu systems for the disk...)
I'm told certain versions of Nero feature similar functionallity - but
apparently not the versions I have. ;-)
So, I've got something to turn frames into video, and something to turn
video into a playable DVD. Anybody know of something good for editing
inbetween?

VirtualDub is not a video editing software. It's basically a program to
decode and then encode video (using existing codecs in your system), with
support for some filters which can be applied to the video.
The main purpose of VirtualDub is to re-encode videos (from one format,
eg. raw or mpeg2, to another, eg. mpeg4, of from one format to the same
format but with different compression settings).

I didn't know MPEG-2 was so secret of a format.

DVD creators are not video editing software per se.

Something which doesn't cost humongous amounts of money? Nope.

Which is mostly what I use it for. ;-)

Well, *you* try finding software that will encode it. (Without paying
money.) Plenty of decoders, no (free) encoders.
And it's not just MPEG-2. A playable DVD requires a particular file
structure and lots of metadata. (And a root menu...) I hear it's
possible to build a usable video DVD using k3b, but after the first
dozen pages of the HOWTO I decided it was just way too complicated.

True. But mine does offer a few cute little effects like dissolves, and
allows you to arrange and rearrange sets of clips with moderate easy.
(Just don't try to preview it - it makes the computer cry.)

Mmm, OK. I was kind of thinking that in this age of OSS almost
everything seems to have a free implementation somewhere. Oh well...

Yes, pretty fascinating stuff. It's like programming a computer (heck, it
*is*)!

Well, why do we always need to chew the food for you...
google:"sourceforge video editing" yields "LiVES" for me, didn't try it
though. And you can always abuse Blender for video editing (Sequencer
window).

Editing is too generic a word. What exactly do you need to do?

Video editing usually looks something like this:

Take several chunks of video. Cut 'em up. Stick them back together in a
different order. Maybe remove bits or duplicate them. Repeat until it
looks good.

VirtualDub will only handle one file at a time.

Yep it'll do that for one 'chunk' of video. I use it mostly for rotating
video 90 degrees and/or re-encoding at 30fps, but you can select sections
cut/copy them out and paste them into a later or earlier point if that's
what you mean.
