thanks for the links, but avidemux is just a clip editor. I was really excited about kdenlive so I installed it. Since it was kde, it didn't want to recognize my gnome mappings so I had to pull the files to my local drive to edit. Once I did that I was able to drag it the clip window and from there add it to my project. Then I pressed play and the program promptly crashed.
This is the exact reason I use iMovie vs any other video editing suite out there. I can remember 1 time when iMovie crashed...actually it didn't crash, but locked up -- but I didn't lose a single bit of work. The last windows video editor I used was Adobe Premiere Elements. I was pissed that I actually paid for that piece of crap software. I got so used to adding a transistion, hit save, move a clip, hit save...
