Hello Rob<BR>
<BR>
Main tools will be Cinelerra (the cvs branch), Kino for editing is very easy. Cinelerra is more into correcting colors a bit like FCP I guess. Cinelerra is a bit of a nightmare to build and packages are usually not working. <BR>
I you intend to do just cut/paste and a bit of subtitling etc... Kino would the be the easiest way to proceed, it has a reliable firewire acquisition interface etc..<BR>
For the encoding you can use ffmpeg or MJpegtools, the second is slower but I believe better and very important : their mailing list is always friendly.<BR>
<BR>
ciao<BR>
