[ubuntu] Linux alternative to a Windows video editor

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I am looking for a Linux alternative to the Windows editing software called MPEG Video Wizard DVD. Back in Windows, I used this application to combine VOB files (selecting certain parts of two VOB:s and combining them into a new VOB). I found kdenlive and avidemux, and although kdenlive allows for combining videos of any kind, it is not appropriate for what I would like to do, as it is a destructive video editor. I would like to perform the above without re-encoding the VOB:s. Avidemux can add/append/edit VOB:s but unfortunately, it is very hard to use it for combining/editing multiple (Hardware)

This is another video editor for linux, Kdenlive is an advanced/Stable and free open-source video editor for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD, which supports DV, AVCHD and HDV editing.

Using XUbuntu 12.04... have used Avidemux since I switched to Linux... usually works well... BUT, my Canon video camera records to .mts files... When I open them for editing in Avidemux, the sound is good, but the video is about half speed. So, I used ffmpeg to convert them to .avi files.

Avidemux, a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks that supports many file types including AVI, DVD, MP4, and ASF, is now at version 2.6.1.

The Avidemux releases are few and far between, which is a real shame because this is a great piece of software, with multiple options.

Highlights of Avidemux 2.6.1:

• Improvements to MP4, FLV and MPEG-PS/TS demuxers

Kdenlive: spring cleaning 2 weeks 3 days ago

Here are some news on what is happening with Kdenlive's video editor. Last year, we launched a successful IndieGoGo campaign to sponsor Till Theato's work on Kdenlive. I have finally found time to start merging his great work so that we can clean up Kdenlive and move towards the future.

I will merge my work in the next days in Kdenlive's git master.

What you're looking for isn't "picture editing" software.  It's "video editing" software.Video editing is hit or miss on Linux in general.The most straight forward is probably Openshot.  Also based on the same libraries but a little less intuitive is Kdenlive.If neither of those work for you there are several other video editing programs like Kino and p

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 with Kdenlive Version 0.8.3 Using KDE Development Platform 4.7.4 (4.7.4)

I did try rebooting and searching on the internet, but nothing seemed to show this issue.

The only thing I can think of is that I ran up updates with Ubuntu Tweak, but they were not on kdenlive so I don't see the connection, though who knows, since it did update Avidemux and VLC.
