We are finally going to replace our VHS-C Camcorder, with a Digital

Cinelerra. It is very powerful, and Dag kindly added to his repo
quite sometime ago.
It is powerful, but if the digital camera is a FireWire-based
standard-def DV camera, the right choice is Kino:
http://www.kinodv.org/
It is an editor specially made for standard-def DV material, it can
interface directly with the camera, it can process DV material natively
(lossless edit and stuff like that), can do projects, has filters and
effects, can export in a variety of formats, etc.
You can find RPMs on dag.wieers.com and in some other places; Fedora
should have the src.rpm as well.
Cinelerra is more of a "generic case" editor. Plus, it's quite buggy. ;-)
If the camera is high-def, then I suggest using a Windows-based
application, especially if it's a newer AVCHD camera. Linux is not quite
there yet in high-def; maybe something like Cinelerra or Kdenlive will
work with older MPEG2 high-def systems, but you're pretty much on your own.
In fact, for pretty much anything except standard-def DV, Windows is by
far the better option. Maybe either Cinelerra or Kdenlive will pick up
speed and change the situation some time in the future.
