For a lot of reasons, I'm going to be switching Myth boxes. I've decided
that my recordings really aren't worth the trouble of dragging over (lots
of Sponge Bob and Simpsons -- brilliant in their way, but not "Citizen
Kane"). So I plan to just start fresh.

But, there is some stuff (Frontline and "Battlestar Galactica") where I
might want to cut the commercials and burn CD/DVDs.

So my question is, is there a good video editor for Linux (OSS) outside of
Myth? Or should I just stick with Myth on another monitor?

TIA,

I like Cinelerra. http://cinelerra.org/

There's a little bit of a learning curve, but for me the time invested equated to a lot more power than most other editors I've tried. Worth the effort and it's not really *that* bad.

The hardest part for me was sifting through the myriad audio and video codecs on my box and matching them up so that I had an optimally encoded clip at the end. If you know what video/audio format(s) you want to use already then you can cut out a lot of the experimentation I had to do.
