Easy video creation using only FOSS software Make sure to read through the comments.
Yes, I've been there. Kino and Cinelerra both require uncompressed audio and uncompressed video, meaning editing a two hour video in 15GB is impossible. The remaining tools mentioned in that article are "convert the file from one format into another." If I want to take out the six minutes in the middle of the video in which the guy with the camera filmed the ground and recorded unintelligible crowd noise, I'm stuck finding an actual video editor.
Jahshaka (http://www.jahshaka.org/) sounds nice until you track down their user FAQ (click on the "Help" button in the upper right corner) and see that the only formats they support are MPEG1/2 (mostly supported), and...uncompressed audio/video format (completely supported). Some users have reported varying success editing DivX, but for the most part your choices are AVI or DV with *no compression*.
So it is looking like Avidemux is the only real tool in Linux to edit video in less than 300GB of hard drive space.
